His Excellency Ambassador of Greece Georges Papadopoulos and Rector Toomas Asser discussed teaching Greek at the University of Tartu

On 1 November, Ambassador of Greece Georges Papadopoulos visited the University of Tartu and discussed with the rector how to improve the opportunities of teaching Greek at the university.

Ancient Greek has been taught at the University of Tartu in the curricula of Classical Studies and Theology and Religious Studies since 1991 and Modern Greek in the curriculum of Classical Studies since 1994. Unfortunately, the university has not been able to offer courses in Modern Greek in recent years. Besides language teaching, the ambassador and rector discussed cooperation and joint research projects between the University of Tartu and Greek universities.
