CERN director general Professor Rolf-Dieter Heuer is paying a two-day visit to Athens after an invitation of the Faculty of Applied Mathematics and Physical Sciences of the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA), to celebrate 15 years since its creation.

On Monday, Heuer had the opportunity to discuss the relations between Greece and CERN as well as the possibilities of a further strengthening in a meeting with Alternate Minister for Research and Innovation Kostas Fotakis and Research and Technology secretary general Thomas Malouta.

Later, Heuer visited the University of Piraeus, where he signed an agreement (memorandum) between the university and CERN. It is a three-year agreement that provides for actions for the participation of the Greek university at CERN research projects, enhancing the mobility of professors, researchers and students, internships at CERN, as well as the organization of joint summer schools.

The 67-year old German physicist will speak on Monday afternoon to NTUA professors and students and afterwards he will have a meeting with the rectorate authorities.

Greece is founding member of the European Centre for Nuclear Research (CERN).
