After my PhD in French University, I work in Research Center in Athens (Foundation for Mediterranean Studies) during 8 years and then I had the opportunity to work from 1995 until now in the University of Thessaly, in two research units covering thematic fields that I very quickly understood that I would like to study using statistical and econometric methods i.e. rural and local development as well as population analysis. My position at the university allowed me to exercise the two activities to which I aspired: research but also teaching.<\/p>\n

My university experience is especially rich because it has allowed me to collaborate with many and various researchers and to develop fruitful links with the students, some of whom have also completed their PhD under my supervision and now are members of the Unit Research (Laboratory of Demographic and Social Analysis) that I supervise.
During all these years, I have a lot of memorable experiences, especially with young researchers who in turn have succeeded to undertake a scientific career.
One also memorable experience is the creation of two Franco-Hellenic masters thanks to which it was possible to set up close collaboration with French universities and students coming from various and very different countries (Mediterranean, Balkan and African countries).<\/p>\n

Due to the fact that that my career at university is coming to the end (in 4 years), my main plan for the future is to give to the young colleagues in the Research Unit that I lead, the opportunity to develop their own research and academic career and to continue to develop the activities of our unit.
As regards my own future, my aspiration is to continue to produce papers and other work in order to participate to the dissemination of knowledge.<\/p>\n
