In order to facilitate and strengthen research, the Department of Geography has signed memoranda of understanding on cooperation in research and education with scientific organizations and organizations of the civil society (National Hellenic Research Foundation – NHRF – EIE, World Wildlife Fund – WWF, École française d’Athènes – EFA, Hellenic National Center of Social Research –ΕΚΚΕ, and currently under discussion with the Hellenic Military Geographical Service and the Mediterranean Agronomic Institute of Chania – MAICh).

The Department of Geography is also member of international networks as AGILE – The Association of Geographic Information Laboratories for Europe (OpenGeospatial Consortium), iMnet – Immigration Mediterranean Network, among others.

The Department of Geography has three Laboratories:

  1. Laboratory of Physical Geography and Environment
  2. Laboratory Human and applied Geography
  3. Laboratory of Geoinformatics and Cartography

The Laboratories are used for lectures and specialized courses as well as for research purposes. The Department is equipped with two computer Labs of 40 working places in total. These Labs have MS WINDOWS environment and feature specialized software (ArcGIS, ERDAS, Matlab, etc) to support the educational and research activities of our Department.The infrastructure of the Department has been recently renovated through National and European funding programs.
