Democritus University of Thrace (DUTH) was established in July 1973. It is based in Komotini, Greece and also has campuses in the Thracian cities of Xanthi, Alexandroupoli and Orestiada. The University accepted the first students in the academic year 1974-1975. It was named after the ancient Greek philosopher Democritus who was born in the city of Avdira.
