Description

Macquarie University’s School of International Studies recently welcomed Dr Ifigeneia Dosi, Assistant Professor of Applied Linguistics at the Democritus University of Thrace, for a two-week research visit held from 6 to 18 October 2025.

The visit, fully funded by the IKY Scholarship Programme for the Development of Collaboration with Education Institutions or Bodies Dispersing Hellenic Culture Abroad, further strengthened educational and cultural ties between Greece and Australia.
