On November 3, 2011 the University of Athens gained access to the Institute's Visual History Archive. As part of the launch, the university hosted a workshop led by Andrea Szőnyi, the Institute's Regional Consultant in Hungary, who gave a presentation on the history of the Institute and the scope of its regional activities; and Verena Nagel, Project Manager of the Multimedia Archive at Freie Universität Berlin's Center for Digital Systems. The workshop continued on November 4 with hands-on training on the use of the archive.
