STRATEGIC PLANNING UNIT

Each HEI (Higher Education Institute) draws up a strategic plan for academic development, in the framework of the national strategy for higher education, research and innovation, as well as its development strategy in the European and international territory (article 95 of Law 4812/2021, Government Gazette 110 / 30-06-2021, vol.
