NOSTOS Initiative’s ambition is to constitute a pioneering pilot action in the higher music education domain, so as to make it a prominent place of cultivation of the relationships between Greek expatriates and Metropolitan Greece.
With university music studies in Greece as a main “vehicle” and, more specifically, studies at the Department of Music Studies of Ionian University, we create the conditions to attract young talented Greeks from the Greek communities all around the world, in order for them to come and study in their homeland.
We also take action so as to bring Greek expatriates who are excelling in academic research and artistic activity in music, in touch with the Department of Music Studies of Ionian University. Through this collaboration we aim to develop fruitful conditions for the further development of research and artistic programmes.
