Greece's Ministry of Education has reportedly urged the country's universities to expand academic cooperation with Israel, according to a report by the Greek outlet EFSYN cited by Anadolu Agency.
The report says an Israeli initiative is offering more than $2.2 million in funding to support joint research projects, scholarships and exchange programs between institutions in the two countries. The scale of the offer suggests an effort to build longer-term academic and research links between Greek and Israeli universities.
Specifics about which Greek institutions might take part, how the funds would be allocated, or a timeline for the initiative were not included in the available reporting. It is also unclear whether any formal agreements have yet been signed between universities on either side.
Neither the Greek Ministry of Education nor Israeli officials were quoted directly in the account of the report, and there has been no public response yet from Greek academic bodies or student groups to the reported push for closer cooperation.
