About the Ambassadors
Aurora Alliance Ambassadors are student representatives who actively promote the values, initiatives, and opportunities of the Aurora Alliance within their home universities. They serve as a bridge between the alliance and the student community – raising awareness, encouraging engagement in Aurora programs, and contributing to the development of a more inclusive, innovative, and internationally connected higher education environment. Ambassadors also collaborate with peers across partner institutions, bringing local perspectives to the shared goals of Aurora Alliance.

My name is Antonios Karaiskos, I am 21 years old, and I am currently a fourth-year student at the Faculty of Medicine, Pavol Jozef Šafárik University in Košice. As an international student, I enjoy meeting people from various cultures, and therefore I consider the opportunity to serve as an ambassador to be an invaluable experience. I believe that interacting with students from different universities will significantly improve our studies through the implementation of many innovative methods into our study programmes.

I am a PhD student at the Faculty of Public Administration of Pavol Jozef Šafárik University in Košice, Department of Public Policy and Public Administration Theory. My academic and research interests focus mainly on innovation, regional policy and the functioning of regional innovation ecosystems. I am very pleased to have the opportunity to be part of the Aurora Alliance – not only from a personal and professional growth perspective, but mainly because I see its potential to expand the possibilities and opportunities for students of the Faculty of Public Administration, as well as our entire university. I believe that international cooperation, knowledge sharing and active participation in joint projects can significantly contribute to the development of the academic environment.
