Ms. Zacharaki made special mention of Greece\u2019s academic staff<\/b>, noting that, as she put it, they are the ones who \u201claid the necessary groundwork so that today we can talk about European university alliances, new academic and research services, and the internationalization and excellence that go hand in hand.\u201d<\/p>\n
According to data presented by the Minister of Education, the following amounts have been allocated from the Recovery Fund:<\/p>\n
