The drafting of each study program is assigned to a four-member committee, under the supervision of a seven-member research team consisting of seven faculty members from Greek universities, while a total of 32 specialist scientists, artists and technicians will be employed in the research project. Apostolos Karakasis, professor of the Cinema Department of the School of Fine Arts of the AUTH, is appointed scientifically responsible for the implementation of the programming contract.
