The Technological Educational Institute of Western Macedonia (TEIWM; Greek: Τεχνολογικό Εκπαιδευτικό Ίδρυμα (ΤΕΙ) Δυτικής Μακεδονίας; formerly Technological Educational Institute of Kozani, Τεχνολογικό Εκπαιδευτικό Ίδρυμα Κοζάνης, TEIKOZ) was a state-run institute of highest education based in Kozani, Greece.[1]

The institution also operated satellite campuses in the nearby towns of Kastoria, Florina, Grevena and Ptolemaida.[2]

History

Formerly known as TEI of Western Macedonia, now University of Western Macedonia, was established in 1976 as a vocational school, and was accredited as a Higher (1983) and later Highest (2001) Educational Institution. A series of legislative acts solidified the equality of universities of applied sciences with Greek universities (Ν.2916/2001, Ν.3549/2007, Ν.3685/2008, Ν.3794/2009, N.4001/2011).[3] On the 25th of February in 2019, TEI of Western Macedonia merged with the University of Western Macedonia, and together they formed the existing University of Western Macedonia with its main campus in Kozani.

The university includes four Schools, consisting of eleven Departments.[4][5]
