University of the Aegean (UAegean)
The University of the Aegean (UAegean) was founded in 1984 aiming to introduce new approaches in higher education in Greece and to promote regional development. It has created a strong international academic and research profile, as an active member of the European Universities Association (EUA), a founding partner of the Cremo network, member of the EMUNI Senate, and partner in many academic and research networks. Research in the Department of Marine Sciences in UAegean covers a broad range of subjects, from marine biology and conservation to marine geology, physical and chemical oceanography, remote sensing, hydroacoustic technology and climate change. The 'Marine Biodiversity and Ecosystems Management' lab has long experience in benthic ecology, biodiversity and conservation, ecosystem functioning and health, and has led or participated in many projects related to marine conservation and systematic conservation planning (e.g. MARISCA, PROTOMEDEA, MARCONS).
