I am honored and delighted to have participated as a speaker at the recent Regional Growth Conference #RGC2024, which brought together leading professionals and academics from various fields. The conference provided an excellent platform for exchanging ideas, knowledge, and innovations relevant to our sector.

The workshop was introduced by the Dean of the University of Patras, Professor Christos Bouras, whose insightful remarks set the tone for a productive and engaging session.
During my presentation, I had the opportunity to showcase part of the research conducted at the School of Agricultural Sciences, Dept. of Fisheries and #Aquaculture, which focuses on the use of #ArtificialIntelligence in risk anagement for #marine ecosystems. This research called #FishAI centers on developing and applying advanced AI models to monitor and predict risks that threaten marine ecosystems, with the aim of taking timely and effective protective measures.

I am also particularly proud that my students from the Dept. of Management science and Technology and the @Dept of Fisheries and Aquaculture at the University of Patras along with students from University of Peloponnese attended the conference and actively participated in the discussions.Their participation in such events is crucial for their professional development and broader understanding of the challenges and opportunities in our field. I would like to thank the organizers of the #RGC conference for their excellent organization and hospitality, as well as all participants for the valuable discussions and exchange of knowledge.
