Background

Aristotle University of Thessaloniki is a public university in Greece. Its main campus is in central Thessaloniki. The university says it is Greece's largest university and comprises faculties and schools across scientific, technical, social, health, arts and humanities subjects.

The university was founded by law in 1925 and opened in 1926. Its research activity covers fields including transport, computing, environmental subjects, biotechnology and health. Its Faculty of Engineering was founded in 1955.

The university matters here as a public research buyer. On 02/09/2026 it concluded a €306,400 contract with GEOSENSE I.K.E. for one multi-purpose unmanned ground vehicle and sensing equipment. The award linked a vehicle to survey and environmental instruments rather than buying a platform alone.
