The “Open Academic Courses” (AAM) programme is a Greek initiative offering free online university courses to promote educational access and openness of Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). Started by the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, it now includes over 3,500 courses from 25 universities, supported by platforms like Open eClass. Funded by NSRF, the programme ensures accessibility and supports academic staff, and has had a strong impact, developing more than 3,500 open academic courses.
