The Center of European Projects (CEP) has extensive experience in coordinating and participating in high-impact, sustainable initiatives in collaboration with international agencies, academic institutions, NGOs, policy stakeholders, and other key organizations.

As part of its strategic objectives, CEP proactively initiates and implements projects aimed at developing innovative tools (intellectual outputs) and educational/training solutions that align with its overarching mission. Currently, CEP at the University of Thessaly (UTH) plays a leading role in various European project initiatives, including Horizon Europe, Erasmus+ Strategic Partnerships, DG Employment, EASME, Interreg, Erasmus+ Sports, and Knowledge Alliances, either as a coordinating institution or a key partner.

With a highly experienced team, CEP has successfully contributed to numerous projects spanning diverse thematic areas, such as social inclusion and disability support, innovative educational material development (including resources tailored for individuals with acquired disabilities), training, entrepreneurship, employability, dual career support for graduates, and overall well-being. These initiatives are strongly supported by UTH’s academic community, highlighting their distinctive value and impact. The quality of CEP-led projects is recognized at both the national and institutional levels, validated by subject-matter experts, faculty members, trainers, and researchers.

Over the years, intensive project implementation has become a core function of CEP, reinforcing its role within the University of Thessaly. The scientific and methodological rigor of its training programs is ensured through the collective expertise of UTH’s faculty and research staff. Furthermore, the University’s well-established networking channels and strategic partnerships actively support CEP’s initiatives, ensuring the achievement of project milestones and long-term sustainability.

Beyond its role as an educational entity, CEP strives to be a catalyst for knowledge creation and societal impact. It is committed to fostering independent, confident, and self-directed learners who contribute to society through leadership and civic engagement. In addition, CEP seeks to generate new knowledge, challenge existing paradigms, and support societal progress by addressing emerging challenges through research-driven innovation.
