The “Triptolemus” Magazine was first published in 1994. The Triptolemus owes its name to the mythical hero sent by Demeter, the Goddess of Agriculture and the harvest, in order to spread the seed of grain to the world of mortals.

The “Triptolemus” is not purely a Scientific Journal, as it does not publish exclusively the original scholarly articles, or the research work of the Faculty Members of the Academic Community and the Scientific Community of Agriculture. It also includes articles about a wider range of issues in either Agriculture or current educational issues, as well as providing information on campus life and overall activities in the AUA premises associated with the fields of teaching, science, culture, sports, and society in general.

The “Triptolemus” Μagazine is to be published (bi)annually, covering issues of increased text size, each of them as big as 1500 words. It is certainly embellished with pertinent photographic material and visual images, such as color photographic materials, digital prints, webpage links, logos, maps, graphs and diagrams, texts placed over a photograph etc. all provided by both the Faculty Staff and the Academic Personnel. Such material is to be gathered and respectively classified by the International and Public Relations Office.
