The NTUA opens its doors to commemorate the 49th anniversary of the uprising

The

opened its doors on Tuesday for a three-day celebration to commemorate the 49th anniversary of the uprising.

On Tuesday, November 15, and Wednesday, November 16, the gates will remain open from 8:30 until 21:00. On Thursday, November 17, the anniversary day, the gates will open at 8:30 and close at 13:00.

The NTUA Senate invited the university community, young people and all citizens to participate in the anniversary events.

"In November 1973, the National Technical University of Athens was at the centre of expression of young people's anguish and their struggle for education, democracy and freedom. Today it must remain a space for the free movement of ideas, respect for different views, resistance to any lack of democracy and the imposition of opinions and behaviours. This is the timeless message of the Polytechnic rebellion, this must be highlighted in the way it is celebrated, and this is today the collective and individual responsibility of the members of the Polytechnic community", the Senate's announcement stated.

As the NTUA noted, the vindication of the students' struggle 49 years ago is reflected in the Greek university's progress and the country's well-being.
