180 years National and Kapodistrian University of Athens
Concepts like the Great Idea (Megali Idea), education, the Modern Greek State, scientific research or the student movement, are largely associated with the University of Athens and its people.
After one year of Military Command, the Dodecanese islands were now able to enter a civil administration status, which would allow for their full incorporation to the Greek mainland. With this objective in mind, the General Administration of the islands followed the organisational model of the “New Countries” - namely the territories liberated during the Balkan Wars. The governor of the Dodecanese Administration had the same grade as a Minister, enjoying increased autonomy in decision-making.
