Panhellenic Association of Bioscientists (PEV)

The Panhellenic Association of Bioscientists (PEV) is the official trade-union, scientific and professional body of qualified Greek bioscientists. Its members work across the environment, health, education, industry and research.

PEV was founded in 1973 and adopted its current name in 2004 as biological disciplines expanded and diversified. The association currently has around 3,500 members. It represents the professional and scientific interests of bioscientists in Greece and participates in national advisory structures for education and health. PEV is a member of ECBA.

Representation and role

PEV is registered with the courts (decision no. 4505-4608/2004) and is represented in the National Education Council (ESYP) and the Central Health Council (KESY), the statutory advisory bodies to the Greek Ministries of Education and Health.

The association was originally founded by graduates of the biology departments. It later opened to graduates of related departments such as natural history, and was renamed by its General Assembly on 20 March 2004 in response to the rapid development and diversification of the biological sciences.
