Available 24/7, the improved service provides immediate and reliable assistance, underscoring the government’s commitment to transparent and efficient public service.

Comprehensive Support for Critical Services

Citizens can now submit queries regarding key documentation and permits, including:

  • Vehicle Registration Documents
  • Driver Licenses

In addition to these offerings, the digital assistant disseminates vital information on the Electric Mobility Promotion Plan designed to reduce CO₂ emissions, as well as updates on vehicle recalls concerning airbag replacements.

Proven Track Record and Versatile Functionality

Since its launch nine months ago, the digital assistant has fielded over 180,000 citizen inquiries, establishing itself as a crucial link between the public and government services. This continuous evolution, marked by the integration of new thematic areas, demonstrates the system’s growing utility and its pivotal role in modernizing public administration.

Accessible in Multiple Languages

Designed to cater to a diverse audience, the digital assistant accepts queries in written or spoken form in both Greek and English, and even processes grenglish inputs.

Women Accounted For More Than Half Of Scientists In 10 EU Regions

In Portugal’s Continente region, 265,100 women worked as scientists and engineers in 2025, representing 46% of the total workforce in these occupations.

Across the EU, women made up more than half of all scientists and engineers in 10 regions. Four were located in Spain, two in Portugal and one in Greece. The remaining regions were Poland’s Makroregion centralny, Sweden’s northernmost region and France’s outermost regions.

Most of these areas had relatively small numbers of scientists and engineers overall. Spain’s Noreste region was the largest, with 102,700 women in these occupations, accounting for 51% of its total workforce.

Women’s Representation Varies Across Europe

The figures highlight considerable regional differences in both the number of women working in science and engineering and their share of the overall workforce.

Cyprus remains below the EU average, with women accounting for 37.8% of scientists and engineers. However, this share is broadly comparable to that of Île-de-France, one of Europe’s largest centres of scientific and engineering employment.
