The purpose of the project was to more fully realize the desire and vision of the national benefactor Eugenios Eugenides “to contribute to the education of young people of Greek descent in the scientific and technical fields.”The late Marianthi Simou, sister of national benefactor Eugenios Eugenides, the Foundation’s first administrator and “heart and soul” of the Foundation, decided to create a planetarium on the Foundation’s grounds, following relevant recommendations from its advisors Stavros Plakidis, professor of astronomy at the University of Athens, and Dimitrios Kassapis, curator at the National Technical University of Athens.
