Research

The Department personnel and students are involved in a wide range of research projects, in collaboration with other Greek and European Universities or research institutes. The research performance (number of publications in peer-reviewed scientific journals and number of citations) is very significant as indicated by the inclusion of a member of the Department personnel in the highly cited researchers list, where only two Greek scientists serving in Greek institutions on any research discipline have been included. This list identifies individuals, departments and laboratories that have made fundamental contributions to the advancement of science and technology in recent decades.
The Department offers many opportunities for undergraduate and graduate student mobility programs within the European Union for course attendance or thesis elaboration within the Socrates / Erasmus framework.
Moreover, the Department is actively involved in European Thematic Networks aiming at the standardization of Food Studies across the European Union.
