The course of my studies and my job experience gave me the opportunity to learn several foreign languages and to get in contact with a broad spectrum of decision makers from different business paths. Furthermore, I have examined the political structures of Eastern Europe in correlation with the broader European political status quo and I can positively say that my knowledge on international political and economical schemes is thorough and methodical.

The result of this strenuous and lengthy effort is the editing of a series of articles and analyses; I have also conducted several interviews that are mainly hosted in Epicos website and have as a target to “shape” the opinion of a rather individual audience of decision makers activated in the domain of Aerospace and Defence. The aforementioned audience includes cabinet members and high ranked executives.

From the beginning of 2008 I have contributed several articles to the Greek magazines “World War History” and “Historical Subjects” regarding the history and the socioeconomic situation of Balkan Peninsula. Since May 2008, I have been the Chief Editor of Epicos Newsletter.

Additionally, I have participated as speaker in several conferences regarding Balkans, the most important of which was organised in Istanbul and Athens in the period between November 2004/ February 2005. The title of the conference was “Learning Conflict Resolution and producing Peace” it was organised by the Hellenic Foundation of European and Foreign Policy (ELIAMEP) and the Istanbul policy Centre (IPC) and was funded by the Micro Project Programme for Turkish- Greek Civic Dialogue of the European Commission Representation to Turkey. The topic of my speech was “The Democratic Impact of European Union on Greece and Turkey”.
