The Hellenic Mediterranean University (HEMU) in Crete is hosting the 3rd International African Week, an annual academic and cultural exchange event bringing together students, academics, and professionals from African countries and Greece. The event takes place on the HEMU campus and features lectures, cultural presentations, networking sessions, and discussions focused on Mediterranean-African cooperation in education, environment, and sustainable development. While primarily an academic gathering, visitors and tourists interested in multicultural exchange and international academic events are welcome to attend public sessions. The event reflects Crete's growing role as a hub for international dialogue in the eastern Mediterranean. Check the HEMU website or local event listings in Heraklion for the exact dates, public programme schedule, and campus access details.
