Cosmote Telekom has launched a new initiative to fully fund master’s-level studies in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and related technological fields for up to 45 students per year. The program supports selected postgraduate programs at leading Greek public universities, aiming to strengthen high-level expertise in AI and accelerate Greece’s digital transformation.
Investing in Expertise and Responsibility
The initiative reflects Cosmote Telekom’s commitment to cultivating skilled, creative, and ethically grounded professionals who can harness AI’s potential responsibly — both for business innovation and societal progress. According to Costas Nebis, Chairman and CEO of the OTE Group: “Artificial Intelligence is fundamentally reshaping how we work, create, and grow — already defining the future of our economy and society. Realizing its benefits requires highly trained people with creativity and a strong sense of responsibility. At Cosmote Telekom, we consistently invest in digital skills and the next generation of scientists because we believe knowledge is the foundation of innovation and progress. By fully funding AI master’s programs, we actively support Greece’s public universities, empower the country’s human capital, and help build a robust digital ecosystem that enables Greece to seize the opportunities of the digital age — for everyone.”
