[edit] Establisment
The Financial and Management Engineering Department is a new Department, established in 1999. The first students enrolled in the academic year 2000-2001. The aim is to train a new generation of specialized engineers capable to follow and adapt to the rapid developments of the information age. Carefully designed with a modern perspective, it offers a complete and dynamic Curriculum, based on the needs and demands of the new era, in order to equip the graduates a highly competitive degree. In July 2001, a special meeting was organized for the formation of the core of studies at the Department. In this meeting, renown scientists from the largest Universities of Greece and abroad, together with successful representatives of the business forum, contributed their knowledge and experience to the developing of the Department's Curriculum. A new meeting will be held on [date], again with the participation of representatives from relevant University Departments, in order to combine the new scientific knowledge available, together with the important experiences from the first three years of actual operation. The results of this meeting will be utilized for the enrichment and improvement of the Curriculum.
