Biography
Responsible for the socioeconomics studies at the Institute of Oceanography of the Hellenic Centre for Marine Research (HCMR, Athens, GR). She holds a Bachelor Degree in Economic Science (University of Piraeus, GR) and a diploma of the Greek Productivity Center (EL.KE.PA) for four-year studies on Information Technology Sector (Analyst-programmer).
She has received a Master’s Degree (D.E.A) in Political Economy, from the Paris VIII University in collaboration with Paris VII University, in Paris (France).
During her six months training in the Directorate General for Environment of European Commission (Bruxelles, 1998) she has elaborated one of the first studies on the application of the economic evaluation method “Cost-Effectiveness Analysis” (CEA) within the framework of the European Water Framework Directive under discussion.
She obtained the PhD from the University of the Aegean (Mytilini, GR) and her Ph.D. thesis was on evaluation of water management measures of using the “Cost – Effectiveness Analysis (CEA). She has been involved in EU projects and national studies in tasks on socio-economic and management issues.
