Athens University of Economics and Business (AUEB, ASOEE, or OPA) (Greek: Οικονομικό Πανεπιστήμιο Αθηνών (Ο.Π.Α.), Oikonomiko Panepistimio Athinon (OPA)) was founded in 1920 in Athens, Greece. Its buildings are housed on Patision Street.
Before 1989, the university was known in Greek as Ανωτάτη Σχολή Οικονομικών και Εμπορικών Επιστημών (Α.Σ.Ο.Ε.Ε.), Anotati Sholi Oikonomikon kai Eborikon Epistimon (A.S.O.E.E.), and in English as the Athens School of Economics and Business. Though the university's official name has changed, it is still known popularly in Greek by this former acronym.
AUEB is the third oldest higher educational institute and the oldest in the fields of Economics and Business in Greece.

[edit] History
The university's earliest predecessor was the Athens School of Commercial Studies, founded in 1920. In 1926 it was renamed as Athens School of Economics and Business, and its current name was given in 1989.
Prior to 1955, only one degree was offered at the school, in Economics and Business. In that year, the offerings were split into two separate degrees, in Economics and in Business Administration. In 1984, the school was divided into three departments: Department of Economics, the Department of Business Administration and the Department of Statistics and Informatics.
[edit] International Recognition
In a research carried out by Der Spiegel magazine among 500 European Universities, AUEB ranked in the 25th place. In the field of Econometrics, AUEB comes internationally in the 48th place according to the Journal of Econometric Theory.
The European Documentation Center of the AUEB is the coordinator of all the European Documentation Centers of Greek Universities.
The Department of Informatics gets 8,000 citations per year and has 5 professors in the top 10,000 researchers by citations according to ACM.
