The AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY OF ATHENS (AUA) was founded in 1920, with main objective to provide education and research in all fields of Agricultural Sciences. In MiCliFEED project AUA is involved through a research team of the Laboratory of Nutritional Physiology and Feeding, consisting of Professor S. Haroutounian and Dr. S. Koulocheri, graduate students and technicians.
The research group is active in the following scientific fields:
• Natural Products Valorization (exploitation of Greek biodiversity for the isolation of natural bioactive molecules)
• Circular Economy (management & valorization of agro-industrial process byproducts and wastes)
• Environment (calculation and reduction of carbon footprint in primary sector, climate change mitigation)
• Agricultural Products Certification (study- determination of peculiarities and certification of traditional Greek agricultural products and foods)
• Foods (development-production of novel food supplements and functional foods)
• Biomedical Research (control of angiogenesis and treatment of hormone-dependent diseases)
The research team has successfully completed the implementation of 31 research projects. Their outcome is included in 172 scientific publications and 2 patents. For these publications there are more than 4,500 citations in the international scientific literature.
Contribution to the project: AUA participates in the implementation of the following actions: A2, C1, C5, C6, C7, C8, D1, E1, E2, F1, F2.
