ASOEE

The Athens University of Economics and Business (AUEB), or ASOEE as it was previously known, was founded under the Venizelos government in 1920 as the Higher School of Commercial Studies. In 1926 it was renamed the Supreme School of Economic and Commercial Sciences and in 1935 the school moved to the building on Patission Street. After World War II, the school expanded to occupy adjacent buildings. Today it has grown into a major educational institution offering financial, commercial and European studies.
