Make your business plan via digital twin technology or have your experiment done by the ATHENA technical lab staff.

The high quality of our infrastructure is proven by the certificates held by the various labs. Have a look.

Mobility is a true challenge, especially for researchers, who also have teaching assignments. ATHENA European University offers you a way of networking for your higher international visibility and recognition through providing to you a live experience in one of our labs, where you can upskill or reskill your already existing expertise in the ATHENA innovative work environment. We are aware of the challenges of a sabbatical and therefore support you in the regulation of your invitation, your virtual substitution at home and the holistic support package.

You are seeking for contacts and colleagues for your research publication, but it seems to be rather closed for you at the beginning of your career or it is time consuming at the peak of your carer’s research activities? ATHENA European University offers you a higher recognition of your research achievements by taking you in to the global network of multidisciplinary research teams facilitating the matchmaking with related fellows and individuals and provides you with a higher impact in the research world, citations in international journals. This will no only make your research more attractive for funding, but also give you access to our financial support for publications in Open Access Journals.
