Named after Asclepius, the ancient Greek symbol of healing, Ascle+ reflects HCISR’s commitment to learning that connects science with humanity.
The “plus” stands for collaboration  across disciplines, cultures, and communities.
Each Ascle+ program blends academic rigor with ethical, experiential engagement in Greece, turning education into a practice of care and connection.
