From the academic year 2011-2012, a new educational activity was created, with the aim of connecting the MBA with Greek businesses. The purpose of this new educational activity is to attract Greek companies that are interested in providing sponsorships for the preparation of diploma theses by final year MBA students on real issues that are of interest to your company. The goal of the new sponsorship program is to further expand the possibility of Greek businesses to cooperate with the Athens University of Economics and Business, and in particular with the MBA, and to contribute to the investment in the country's human capital.
