In his post, Mr. Tsipras mentions that this is an excellent group of people in science, with top resumes and achievements, who adorn the Greece of knowledge.

“What unites us is the belief that if we want to change the country for the better, we must get to know it as well as possible. To understand the problems and contradictions of our time, to study all aspects of society and its movement, and thus unfold the map of a future, not only, nor mainly, with the optimism of the will, but also with the pessimism of knowledge. And such a thing is impossible without the decisive contribution of enlightened people of science.

I thank each and every one who, with selflessness and willingness to give, undertakes to put their knowledge, experience and training at the service of our country and society. Their attitude is a ray of light in a dark time.”
