ELIXIR-GR
The action aims to upgrade and integrate the important infrastructure that has already been developed in Greece for the management of big data in life sciences. The project will support the operation of ELIXIR-GR, the Greek node of ELIXIR-EUROPE, for three years, with the participation of 15 partners. BSRC «Al. Fleming» is the coordinator of the action. The project is organised in 6 Work Packages (WPs). Each partner will contribute in one or more sub-projects and will have contribution to one or more WPs.
APOLLONIS
APOLLONIS is the Greek Infrastructure for Digital Arts, Humanities and Language Research and Innovation, recently formed by the union of two existing ESFRI-related national research infrastructures: CLARIN:EL, the CLARIN-related Greek network for language resources, technologies and services; and DARIAH-GR/DYAS, the DARIAH-related Greek network for digital research in the Humanities. The mission of APOLLONIS is to develop and operate a digital environment for language resources and related services, but also for training and user support activities, which will allow access to and deployment of digital language resources for the Humanities and Language Technology for research, educational and development purposes. The development of the APOLLONIS infrastructure advances the existing CLARIN:EL and DARIAH-GR/DYAS services within a common approach that will promote interoperability and reach to broader user communities, at the same time endorsing open science principles.
In this framework, CLARIN:EL
- provides a permanent and stable infrastructure for accessing language resources and language processing web services,
- supports any type of research activity based on digital language material (regardless of scientific domain), – promotes open standards and open access principles,
- offers training and support on Language Technology and Language Resources,
- will facilitate access to European language resources and language processing tools through its connection to CLARIN ERIC, the European Language Resources Infrastructure,
- develops a collaborative workspace for application development environment,
- aims to act as a central storage point in Greece where digital language resources of any field and related processing services and tools will be hosted, and
- aims to operate as a central information point for the domains of Digital Language Resources and Language Technology in the country.
Establishing a unified, open virtual workspace that will enable access to interoperable digital resources, metadata and data curation tools, language processing tools and services, best practice guidelines and support, CLARIN:EL will introduce the use of Digital Language Resources and Language Technology methodology to Greek humanities research and education communities, as well as professionals in the media and culture industry, allowing them, thus, to carry out their activities more efficiently and less costly, deploying the assets of digital research.

The project consortium comprises all the complementary and necessary experience and expertise to successfully implement its objectives. The project coordinator will be inDigital, a Greek IT company, particularly active in 3D digitisation of objects and spaces. The partnership is complemented by the Institute for Language and Speech Processing/Athena R.C., a leading research organisation with strong know-how in innovative 3D imaging and computer vision technologies, tools and methodologies. The second research organisation is the Institute of Mediterranean Forest Ecosystems/ELGO “Dimitra”, specialised in the study and protection of the Greek flora. Finally, the Regional Development Organisation of Sterea Ellada (OASE) will mainly engage in the on-site pilot operation and evaluation of the AR mobile application, as well as in the dissemination of project’s results to benefiting entities and enterprises in the Region of Sterea Ellada. The project aims at the dissemination and exploitation of its results as a good practice of promoting, enriching and reinforcing the competitive advantage of the local tourism product, able to support different forms of alternative tourism (ecotourism, educational, cultural tourism etc.) compatible with corresponding national and regional priorities regarding tourism development and appropriate to be extended to other Regions of Greece. In addition, the project’s results include a set of state-of-the-art and innovative ‘apps’ for the augmented interactive exploration of the natural environment, which can be converted into independent, non-local, commercial products and exploited economically by the project partners.
ClimateCosmos
Climate change, framed in social scientific terms, offers a causal and moral narrative which connects, for example, users of electric toothbrushes in the USA and couples quarrelling about habits of consumption in Europe and Japan, with representatives disputing about a post-Kyoto agreement at global climate conferences, all the way to victims of flooding and draught events in Australia, China, India and Bangladesh. Even climate sceptics react to and thereby affirm the dominance of such a climate narrative. This coercive inclusion of the excluded ‘distant other’ is what I define as the social scientific fact of ‘cosmopolitization’ – in distinction from ‘cosmopolitanism’ as a philosophical norm.
By taking climate change as a comprehensive case study experiment, this research project aims at reinventing the social sciences for the ‘age of cosmopolitization’. The ground-breaking nature of the project is to advance the present state of debate by validating the new theoretical, methodological and empirical tools needed for such a ‘cosmopolitan turn’.
Since their inception in the late 19th century, the social sciences remain caught in a resilient methodological nationalism bound up with the presupposition that the national-territorial remains the primary container for the analysis of social, economic, political and cultural processes. Methodological nationalism is built into the basic concepts of modern sociology and political science, as well as into routines of data collection and analysis. Building on my previous work on methodological cosmopolitanism, this project undertakes a full-scale cosmopolitan case study of climate change, thereby rendering operative a new mode of transnational research cooperation, data generation, and theory validation.
