The year 2025 marked the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. To celebrate this important milestone, AUTh organized events both on and off campus throughout the year. The official opening ceremony of the celebrations took place at the Thessaloniki Concert Hall, in the presence of the President of the Republic, Mr. Konstantinos Tasoulas. The event was opened by the "Yannis Mantakas" choir, performing Aristotle's "Hymn to Virtue" set to music by Menelaos Pallantios. This work was selected and designated as the official anthem of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki in 1957, following a competition organized by Yannis Mantakas.
