This department hosts several graduate programs, including one on the History and Philosophy of Science and Technology that is offered in collaboration with the National Technical University of Athens.

The HONEST group has participated in international and collaborative European research projects on the history of energy, especially from comparative and transnational perspectives. It has unique experience in the use of nuclear energy in countries without nuclear reactors, through the use of transnational transmission networks. In recent years, they have supervised 5 graduate theses that focus on aspects of the history of nuclear energy in Greece. The group has played an important role in introducing and supporting institutions that usher in the public understanding of the science/technology-society relationship.
