Research Strategy
The University of Peloponnese was, from its foundation, one of the Greek regional polyhedral universities, whose necessity was not exclusively related to educational objectives. It has made a substantial contribution to the economic development of the Peloponnese region and at the same time, it has contributed significantly to the strengthening of the cultural character of the wider Peloponnese region, as well as to the improvement of the standard of living and social standards. Its multidisciplinary dimension is evident, both in the education provided and in the research carried out. In addition, the international academic dimension of the presence of the University of Peloponnese and the long-standing commitment of its staff to the quality of educational services, has resulted in the creation of a particularly important footprint in the academic news of our country and the wider geographical area. In an intensely changing environment, PEL continues to aim for both educational and research excellence, while building on the challenges and imperatives of the future.
It is reorienting its research strategy based on innovation, entrepreneurship, technology, the new digital age, large-scale development as well as attracting funding.

The creation, through education, of a strong background in management science, through a student-centred learning process, which includes knowledge, whether classical or cutting-edge, the acquisition of experience and practical application, analysis, synthesis and evaluation of data, constraints and opportunities.
Preparing and directing the career, eligibility and competitiveness of its graduates through the understanding of science through modern technological tools and methods based on literature, research and modern digital media.
To develop the ability of its graduates in the modern digital age, the ever-growing society, the rapid increase in knowledge and the changing demands of the labour market, to continue their intellectual development and education, facing the fourth industrial revolution by constantly acquiring new skills and competences.
Knowledge by means of research (basic and applied) in both management and interdisciplinary fields, keeping abreast of scientific developments and extending the scope of application.
Contributing to the reconstruction and development of the region and the country, in cooperation with productive institutions and businesses through excellence, research, innovation, production and entrepreneurship, self-motivation and teamwork.
