Projects
This page contains the most significant funded research projects I managed in the course of my career so far.
I have a notable experience in technical supervision, coordination and management, and preparation of several research projects in the context of national and European programmes, as well as industrial projects directly funded by public and private organizations. As per the EU projects, I was engaged as evaluator and reviewer for several programs launched by the European Commission since 1992.
In the list below, no more information than the title of the project and the funding organization are quoted, mainly for confidentiality agreements with the related companies. For the (public) EU projects, you can drop me an email for more details.
