It was the first time since antiquity that a country named Greece played a significant role in Astronomy.

He was the first author to publish a university textbook in the field of mathematics since the inception of the new country.

He played a significant role in the founding of the physics and mathematics department at the University of Athens.

He was taught by Austrian scientist and astronomer Joseph Johann von Littrow.

He continued his studies at the Vienna Observatory under the supervision of Joseph Johann von Littrow.

In 1832 Georgios published Elliptical orbit calculation of Biela's Comet from 96 observations of the year 1832 (Elliptische bahnbere chung des Biela'schen cometen aus 96 beobachtungen des Jahres 1832).

His paper was a comprehensive overview of the elliptical orbital calculations of Biela's Comet.

He convinced Greek-Austrian entrepreneur and banker Georgios Sinas to fund the massive observatory.

When King Otto learned of the generosity he awarded Georgios Sinas's son the Order of the Redeemer.

[9][10] Vouris was responsible for selecting and purchasing the correct instruments for the newly founded Observatory.

In a notable speech Georgios discussed Meton of Athens and his astronomical observatory that was in the same city over 2200 years before.

Some of the works included a catalog for the complete determination of 1000 stars peculiar to Greece and the position of the Athens Observatory.

He determined the geographic coordinates of the Observatory, which formed the basis for the mapping of Greece.

Georgios had conflicting views with the leaders of the University of Athens and Ministry of Education.

Vouris fell ill in 1855, he decided to leave the National Observatory of Athens and return to Vienna.

Papadakis was the interim director for a short period of time and was replaced by Johann Friedrich Julius Schmidt.

He published his Memoirs of the Athenian Observatory (Memoiren der Athenienser Sternwarte).

Greek astronomers Chrysanthus Notaras and Methodios Anthrakites were required to follow the established education of the church instituted by Theophilos Corydalleus.

The approved scientific education in the Greek world was secular in nature but promoted Aristotelean physics and the Ptolemaic astronomical system.
