Digital Society

Educational robotics and STEM
COSMOTE contributes to a better world for everyone by developing the digital skills of school students from all over the country. Over the past nine years, COSMOTE has been a strategic partner of the not-for-profit organization for educational robotics and science “WRO Hellas”. COSMOTE uses this collaboration to support the National Educational Robotics Competition for school students from all grades, the provision of free robotics packages to state schools, and free train-the-trainers webinars directed toward disseminating educational robotics and STEM img educational methodology throughout the Greek educational system. Up to now, more than 200 000 students and teachers have benefited from these initiatives. 

COSMOTE #GrowYourBusiness
#GrowYourBusiness is a free educational program, designed by COSMOTE to support small and medium-sized businesses by offering them training, guidance, and advice in their effort to successfully enter the digital era and achieve a distinctive profile in the market. 

In 2022, #GrowYourBusiness introduced its fifth circle, which provides certification in digital skills for the first time. In collaboration with the Athens University of Economics and Business (AUEB), COSMOTE created an integrated educational program of ten online courses. Greek SMEs from all types of industry are welcome to attend and acquire essential knowledge for the modern business world, such as Digital Skills, Digital Marketing Plan, Social Media, eCommerce, ERP & CRM, IoT & Analytics. All ten courses are taught by university professors and they are completely free of charge.  

At the end of each course, attendees were given a Document of Attendance (after passing an online test), while those who attended all ten courses and succeeded in passing the completion tests, received a Certificate from the Vocational Training and Lifelong Learning Center of the AUEB.

This new initiative encompassed more than000 participants in 2022. It empowered additional businesses and employees to develop and certify their skills on new digital tools and technologies.

Free WiFi provision to archaeological sites and museums
Free WiFi is provided to visitors at major archaeological sites within the framework of the partnership between COSMOTE and the Ministry of Culture and Sports, offering access to free WiFi at 25 major cultural and historical archaeological sites and museums in Greece. The plan in 2023 is to set up infrastructure at nine more sites. The company has invested a total of more than EUR 3 million in this project.
