The Harokopio University or Charokopos University ( Greek Χαροκόπειο Πανεπιστήμιο ) is a state university in Athens , the University buildings are located, however, in the suburb of Kallithea .

It was founded in 1990 (emerged from the Charokopio home economics college, which has existed since 1929).

history

The university is named after Panagis Charokopos ( Greek Παναγής Χαροκόπος ; 1835-1911). He was agricultural adviser to the Romanian King Carol I and later a Greek MP; in his will he ordered the establishment and funding of a school for scientific training in home economics . For this purpose he had acquired a plot of 20,000 m² in the municipality of Kallithea in 1906 , on which the school buildings were built from 1915 to 1920. A new wing was added in 1959. The building complex housed the "Charokopio University" until 1990, when the Charokopio University was founded.
