"The Skyros Port Fund, the University of West Attica and the University of the Aegean, three model Public Agencies, joined their forces and embraced the new generation with a common goal “inspiring the young scientists through the right example”. Skyros Project is not just the name of a program. It is an innovation in education, based on the practice of Excellence, being implemented in the most award-winning and comprehensive small Public Port of Greece. In a port that operates successfully, strives for upgrade, sets high goals, envisions and exemplifies. This port is the Linaria Port of Skyros!

Skyros Project has the tights of a family presenting hope for betterness, it is a part of the country we want to have!”
