PROJECTS AND PARTNERSHIPS
Collaborations connecting scientific research with regional and local government needs.
ΕΠΑνΕΚ / EPAnEK
The initial RiskAC research effort was supported by the Operational Programme Competitiveness, Entrepreneurship and Innovation (EPAnEK 2014–2020). Its focus is collaboration between research teams and connecting data, scenarios and findings with stakeholder needs.
