Research Infrastructure
Excellent research requires world-leading facilities which are becoming increasingly expensive and sophisticated. As a Rector of the UoI I have applied centrally several well documented specific research infrastructure projects and played a major role in the formulation and implementation of the research strategy policy of the Greek National Research Foundation in the Region of Epirus. As result, very significant support for research infrastructure was award to the University of Ioannina with over 8,000,000 € during my Rectorship in the period 2006-2010.
