EMINENT Welcome Days 2025

Katharina Albrecht

From October 1 to 2, the EMINENT WelcomeDays took place on the beautiful island of Crete.
Welcome Days took place on the beautiful island of Crete. We welcomed 26 new students from different countries, including Brazil, Mexico, Ecuador, Portugal, Egypt, Nigeria, Pakistan, Iran, Thailand and India.

This new group of students is not only international - representing a total of 17 countries from all over the world - but also extremely motivated to start their EMINENT journey.

During the Welcome Days, the students learned more about life in Greece and at the Hellenic Mediterranean University (HMU). The information provided should help them to settle in on Crete and prepare for the start of their studies. In addition, a current first-year EMINENT student and representative of the EMA shared her experiences and answered numerous questions from the new students.

As the program allows students to study at up to four different universities, representatives from NOVA University, the University of Siegen, the University of Orléans
and Vilnius Tech
were present. Each presented the respective specialization focus of their university.

A sunny campus tour and a visit to the Venetian city walls of Heraklion brought the two Welcome Days to a successful conclusion.

We wish all EMINENT students a good start to their studies and a wonderful time on the island of Crete!
