About Us
A journey of discovery.
The Sino-Hellenic Aademic Project was launched through the successful collaboration between the University of the Aegean and Henan University. Through this close and meaningful parternship, an original endeavour in human history is undertaken, formalized through the dedicated work of scientists, scholars, researchers, students, and supporters.
For the first time, the formal projects of mutual respect between the Greek and Chinese civilizations are carried out by experts and admirers of each others civilizations. Two of the most ancient civilizations of the world, whose light shone through the ages and deeply marked the spirits of humanity, are now through the globalized world, able to meet, learn, and share with each other the immense depths of civilizations that suffuse through its people. Hellenes and Chinese carry with them the heritage of millennia of history.
