As founding supporters of the organization, we were there along with a large crowd of Mathesis supporters, educators, students, and volunteers to celebrate the organization’s valuable work. The Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF) was honored for its contribution to the organization’s mission, with SNF Board of Directors member and Senior Legal Adviser George Agouridis accepting the acknowledgment.
Mathesis was founded in 2015 by Stefanos Trachanas as a special department of Crete University Press (CUP) to create and offer free, top-quality online courses to students, professionals, academics, and the general public.
During its 10 years of operation, Mathesis has created and offered 79 courses, with topics ranging from philosophy and history to astronomy and quantum physics, which have been attended by 138,300 students.
