The Assembly of the Department of Economics of the National University of Athens expresses its deep sadness over the untimely passing of Assistant Professor, George Makrygiannakis.
In the person of George Makrygiannakis, a conscientious educator and dedicated scientist has been lost, who served the field of Accounting at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens with consistency and zeal. With a doctoral degree from the University of Portsmouth, he contributed substantially to both teaching and research, with publications in prestigious international scientific journals and conferences.
The seriousness, hard work and calmness of his character left their mark on students and colleagues, while his exemplary presence was a point of reference for the School and its subject.
His loss is personal but also collective: it leaves a void in the academic life of the department, but also in the broader academic field that he served with dignity and humanity.
The funeral service will be held on Monday, August 11, at 5:30 p.m. at the Agios Nikolaos cemetery in Chalkida.
