MC candidate manifesto:

Cultural heritage, climate change, site protection, management

I'm keen to work at the intersection of climate change and heritage management, focusing on integrating heritage into the climate agenda, addressing climate impacts on cultural capital, engaging local communities. Environmental Sustainability Task Force aligns with my interests in this area.

Being an academic in Archaeology in Greece, I can promote the common European data space for cultural heritage at local conferences, advocating for FAIR principles to make heritage data more transparent and accessible through the Europeana network, despite Greece's strict regulations.
