Communication skills ▪ Excellent communication skills gained through my experience as responsible for various
dissemination and communication actions in EU funded projects;
▪ Organization of International Conferences on waste management and treatment, biomass
utilization, biofuels production, industrial symbiosis, circular economy, tourism, etc.
Organisational / managerial skills ▪ Excellent organizational skills gained as responsible for the implementation of EU funded projects.
The main duties included the organization of the project team, the evaluation of the deliverable
reports produced and the organization of the implementation of all projects actions;
▪ Strong reporting skills gained during the implementation of EU funded projects. It should be
stressed that the LIFE financial instrument monitoring follows professional standards thus, there
are strict rules that a beneficiary should follow while reporting during the project implementation;
▪ Organization and elaboration of projects proposals in various European financial instruments (LIFE,
Horizon 2020, Med Programme, etc.). The following proposals have received funding in a period of
6 years:
1. Cypadapt
'Development of a national strategy for adaptation to climate change adverse impacts in Cyprus',
LIFE10ENV/CY/000723.
2. Waste2bio
'Development and demonstration of an innovative method of converting waste into bioethanol', LIFE11
ENV/GR/000949.3.
3. LIFE Foodprint
'Development of an integrated strategy for reducing the carbon footprint in the food industry sector',
LIFE13 ENV/GR/000958.
4. LIFE AdaptInGR
'Boosting the implementation of adaptation policy across Greece', LIFE17 IPC GR 000006.
