Management Experience - Present & Past Positions in Executive Boards

International
2012-present
• Working Group Co-Leader, COST-FP1202: Strengthening conservation: a key issue for adaptation of marginal/peripheral populations of forest tree to climate change in Europe (MaP-FGR). Coordination of expert scientists from 23 European countries regarding the study of genetics and conservation of marginal and peripheral forest tree populations.
2011-present
•Leader, Forest Tree Genetic Monitoring European Working Group (Bioversity International). Coordination of expert scientists from 32 European countries and from Bioversity International on devising approaches to monitor biodiversity, especially at the genetic level, in European natural ecosystems (science, protocols, procedures, policies, etc.). It is anticipated that this process, when finalized, will be adopted by FOREST EUROPE (MCPFE process; Ministerial Conference for the Protection of Forests in Europe) and will become embedded in European environmental policy and its application. The process involves coordination on scientific concept development and applications via molecular tools of a core group of about 50 scientists through meetings, workshops and internet-based communication tools. It also involves updating and informing a larger group of about 150 experts through conference participation as well as internet-based communication tools. Final recommendations will be made to the European Forest Genetic Resources Network Steering Committee and will be reported to FOREST UROPE (MCPFE).
2010-present
•Thematic Studies Contributor, Status of World Forest Genetic Resources (FAO-UN). Working in very close cooperation with a core group of 18 scientists on the preparation of two Thematic Studies of the Status of World Forest Genetic Resources Report by FAO. The process involves meta-analysis of existing results, reviews of knowledge acquired insofar, gap analysis on knowledge needed and recommendations for future scientific research. This is a very important endeavour regarding the study and conservation of forest biodiversity at the world level that is harboured within natural ecosystems.

- development of the use of retrotransposons in investigating stress responses in cooperation with the National Research Institute for Agricultural & Food Technology (INIA-Madrid) and the National Agricultural University of Athens,
- development of genomic applications and state of the art molecular genetic markers in forest species: MSAP, SAMPL, f-AFLP, SNPs, retrotransposons, DNA barcoding, HRM, in cooperation with ΙΝΙΑ-Madrid, NAGREF and ΙΝΑ-CERTH. Interesting and promising results for a plethora of applications such as evaluation of biodiversity at large scale, construction of genetic maps, marker-assisted selection/marker-assisted breeding), DNA fingerprinting, molecular diagnostics, molecular taxonomy, molecular phylogenetics and evolutionary research,
- investigation for the 1st time ever in the genus Quercus and for the 2nd time in a woody perennial of “porous genomes” and of their significance in evolution and in population adaptation during climatic change (cooperation with the university of Freiburg),
- investigation, for the 1st time, of forest fire influence on the extend and genetic structure of species and their populations,

- investigation of the influence of management and silvicultural measures on the extend and genetic structure of species and their populations,
- development of a genetic improvement methodology for developing tolerance to urban environmental stress -development of clones suitable for urban use,
- development of protocols for genetic monitoring of natural populations for the protection and sustainable management of genetic resources: (FOREST EUROPE, EUFORGENhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gz2u5BKv74Q, http://www.euforgen. org/),
- development of molecular/genomic tools (sequence variation, DNA barcoding, HRM) and numerical (phenotyping, fluctuating asymmetry, multivariate analysis) methods for comprehensive studies on bio-monitoring (early warning system regarding population stability), mapping of important traits (marker-assisted selection), molecular breeding, are at the cornerstone of eco-certification and pro-active environmental protection.
