Please find information about the Summer He.La.S. Programme July 2020 below.

He.La.S Summer Program 2020 (.pdf)

IMAEF is a forum for the exchange and fertilisation of ideas, knowledge and scientific achievements in economics and finance. During the conference, academics, researchers and practitioners will present novel developments in applied economics and finance and will discuss on currently debated issues.

The program includes high quality presentations. Senior invited lectures will address topical applied economics and finance issues.

The meeting is organized by the Department of Economics of the University of Ioannina

For more detailed information, visit the meeting’s website at https://imaef.econ.uoi.gr/

On 16 and 17 December 2019, the Department of Agriculture University of Ioannina, being the Lead Partner, held the kick-off meeting of the project “CheeseCulT – Cheese route as an innovative cultural heritage driving force for rural tourism development in the cross-border area”, which is co-funded by the Interreg IPA II Greece-Albania Programme 2014-2020, through European Union and National Funds of Greece and Albania. CheeseCulT is designed to capitalize the CB area’s agri-food focus on dairy production, and incorporate it to local sustainable tourism on a viable development plan for the regions involved.

On the Kick-off meeting, all partners’ organisations participated; apart from the LB (Department of Agriculture, University of Ioannina), the “Hellenic Agricultural Organization – Demeter: Dairy School of Ioannina”, as well as the two Albanian partners, the University “Eqrem Çabej” Gjirokastër and the ARGJIRO attended the meeting.

Several topics were discussed during the meeting. Apart from organizational aspects of the project, that will end in November 2021, partners also planned and prepared detailed framework of activities of the strategic partnership and agreed on common goals and results with respect to the creation of the Cheese route at CB area. In the next few months, several results from the first stages of the project will be published. Namely, the results from the diagnosis studies of Primary Sector Value Chains in Greek-Albanian CB area will be presented, leading to the design/ mapping of a joint Cheese Route.

Although there were only few days and many topics to discuss, all partners came back with new ideas and motivation, hoping to keep up with such a good work within the project duration.

It is a pleasure and honour to welcome you all to Ioannina, the capital of Epirus and active cultural and scientific hub. Together, we shall provide focused training and information in key areas which are often not adequately covered in Oncology Curriculae or are by their nature difficult to teach in structured educational programs. We hope you enjoy this initiative, as well as the mountainous landscape of Epirus with its monuments, lakes, castles and churches.

This year’s Masterclass will be held in collaboration with the Department of Medical Oncology of the University of Ioannina DMO -UOI) and the Swiss Group for Clinical Cancer Research (SAKK) with the support of the Hellenic Group of Young Oncologists (ONEO). Critical thinking and analysis, interaction and networking are the foundations and also the aims of this educational outreach, emanating from an academic oncology department of the Greek North-West. We are looking forward to social/scientific networking between young Greek and Swiss trainees and faculty, as well as an exchange of variations and common patterns in way oncology and research are practiced. We hope you enjoy and that we will see you again in further masterclass events.

Yours truly,

George Pentheroudakis Roger Von Moos

Professor of Oncology, DMO-UOI SAKK President
