K. Karastathis is the Director of the Institute of Geodynamics of the National Observatory of Athens. He was elected to the position in December 2024. Between 2020 and his appointment as Director, he held the position of Deputy Director of the Institute.<br \/>\nHe studied Physics in the University of Athens and he holds M.Sc. and Ph.D degrees in Geophysics (University of Birmingham and University of Athens). At the Institute of Geodynamics, he was first elected in 1999 as Researcher having the subject of knowledge \"Seismology - Physics of the Earth's Interior with emphasis on the seismic survey methodologies and interpretation\" and after three successive promotions with a unanimous positive decision, in 2010 he was elected to the highest rank of Research Director.<br \/>\nOver recent years, his research activities have been primarily focused on the application and development of the innovative earthquake risk mitigation technologies, including earthquake early warning systems and rapid damage assessment methodologies. He has specialized in geophysical investigations using seismic techniques, microseismicity studies, and research on earthquake precursory phenomena, particularly the correlation between variations in soil radon concentration and seismic activity. He has conducted extensive research on active geological structures employing advanced geophysical methods and has led major scientific projects in the fields of geothermal and energy resource exploration, non-destructive testing of large-scale engineering structures, foundation investigations for dams, hospitals, skyscrapers, natural gas transmission networks, extension of the Metro, archaeometry etc. His pioneering work on the non-destructive testing of dams in 2000 contributed significantly to the establishment of methodologies that subsequently became standard practice. More recently, his research has expanded toward the monitoring of active volcanic systems through the observation and analysis of geophysical parameters. Dr. Karastathis has coordinated more than 45 research projects on behalf of the Institute of Geodynamics, including European, national, and contract research projects, securing substantial research funding for the Institute. He has also participated in numerous additional research projects, assuming key scientific and managerial responsibilities in many of them. In 2002, he received the First Award of the Academy of Athens for a publication concerning the identification of the Ancient Canal of Xerxes. This work attracted extensive international media attention and was featured by major outlets including The New York Times, The Times, the International Herald Tribune, Die Zeit, and World Archaeology, among others.<\/p>\n                                            <\/div>\n                                        <\/div>\n                                    <\/div>\n                                <\/template>\n                            <\/div>\n                                                    <div class=\"rgc-speaker-card\" data-speaker-card data-last-name=\"KALAMARA\" data-speaker-trigger data-href=\"https:\/\/conference.eagme.gr\/en\/speaker\/leta-kalamara\/\" role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-label=\"Letta Kalamara\">\n                                <div class=\"rgc-speaker-card__avatar\">\n                                    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/conference.eagme.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kalamara.jpg\" alt=\"Letta Kalamara\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\n                                <\/div>\n                                <div class=\"rgc-speaker-card__info\">\n                                    <h3 class=\"rgc-speaker-card__name\">Letta Kalamara<\/h3>\n                                                                            <p class=\"rgc-speaker-card__position\">Journalist, Maritime Affairs<\/p>\n                                                                                                        <\/div>\n\n                                <template data-speaker-modal-content>\n                                    <div class=\"space-y-10\">\n                                        <div class=\"flex justify-center\">\n                                            <div class=\"rgc-modal-avatar shadow-elevated mb-2\">\n                                                <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/conference.eagme.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kalamara.jpg\" alt=\"Letta Kalamara\" class=\"w-full h-full object-cover\" \/>\n                                            <\/div>\n                                        <\/div>\n                                        <div>\n                                            <h2 class=\"font-display text-3xl md:text-5xl font-black leading-tight mb-6 text-center\">Letta Kalamara<\/h2>\n                                            <p class=\"text-lg text-muted-foreground leading-relaxed mb-9 text-center\">Journalist, Maritime Affairs<\/p>                                            <div class=\"flex flex-wrap justify-center gap-3 mb-8\">\n                                                                                            <\/div>\n                                            <div class=\"bg-card border border-border rounded-2xl p-6 md:p-8 rgc-speaker-bio\">\n                                                <p>Letta Kalamara is a journalist specializing in Economic and Business Reporting for the newspaper Naftemporiki.

Kokkalas is a Professor of Structural Geology (Neotectonics, Microtectonics, and Geotectonics) in the Department of Geology at the University of Patras. He brings over 25 years of international teaching and research experience in Geosciences, having held positions in Greece and abroad, including Stanford University (USA) as Visiting Researcher, the Petroleum Institute at Khalifa University (UAE), and in Schlumberger-MLC (UAE) international training center. His research integrates fundamental principles of structural geology with field data and modern analytical methods to investigate upper crustal brittle deformation and fracturing.<br \/>\nAs a researcher his scientific contributions include over 120 peer-reviewed papers in international journals and conference proceedings (Scopus h-index: 25, with 1,541 citations). Furthermore, he has organized and led numerous research and educational field trips across diverse geological and geotectonic settings in Greece, Italy, Montenegro, Spain, and the Arabian Peninsula. His primary research interests focus on fracture network analysis for reservoir characterization (with applications in hydrocarbon exploration and underground geo-energy storage), the relationship between tectonics and ore genesis, and the analysis of seismically active structures.<br \/>\nFor more detailed information regarding his research and publication record, please refer to his OrcID profile (QR-code).<\/p>\n                                            <\/div>\n                                        <\/div>\n                                    <\/div>\n                                <\/template>\n                            <\/div>\n                                                    <div class=\"rgc-speaker-card\" data-speaker-card data-last-name=\"KONTODIMOS\" data-speaker-trigger data-href=\"https:\/\/conference.eagme.gr\/en\/speaker\/konstantinos-kontodimos\/\" role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-label=\"Konstantinos Kontodimos\">\n                                <div class=\"rgc-speaker-card__avatar\">\n                                    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/conference.eagme.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kontodimos.jpg\" alt=\"Konstantinos Kontodimos\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\n                                <\/div>\n                                <div class=\"rgc-speaker-card__info\">\n                                    <h3 class=\"rgc-speaker-card__name\">Konstantinos Kontodimos<\/h3>\n                                                                            <p class=\"rgc-speaker-card__position\">General Secretary of the IGME Trade Union H.S.G.M.E<\/p>\n                                                                                                        <\/div>\n\n                                <template data-speaker-modal-content>\n                                    <div class=\"space-y-10\">\n                                        <div class=\"flex justify-center\">\n                                            <div class=\"rgc-modal-avatar shadow-elevated mb-2\">\n                                                <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/conference.eagme.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kontodimos.jpg\" alt=\"Konstantinos Kontodimos\" class=\"w-full h-full object-cover\" \/>\n                                            <\/div>\n                                        <\/div>\n                                        <div>\n                                            <h2 class=\"font-display text-3xl md:text-5xl font-black leading-tight mb-6 text-center\">Konstantinos Kontodimos<\/h2>\n                                            <p class=\"text-lg text-muted-foreground leading-relaxed mb-9 text-center\">General Secretary of the IGME Trade Union H.S.G.M.E<\/p>                                            <div class=\"flex flex-wrap justify-center gap-3 mb-8\">\n                                                                                            <\/div>\n                                            <div class=\"bg-card border border-border rounded-2xl p-6 md:p-8 rgc-speaker-bio\">\n                                                <p>Msc Seismology.

In 1980, the \"ALEXANDER ONASSIS\" FOUNDATION granted him a two-year scholarship to continue his postgraduate studies at the Polytechnic University of Florence - School of Surveying Engineering in \"Natural Resources Management\". In 1985, with a new Scholarship from the Ministry of Research and Universities of the Italian Government, he continued and completed (1989) his Doctorate at the Universities of Bologna and Modena, in Groundwater \"Hydrogeotectonic lines and movement of groundwater with the exploitation of isotopes in the Limestones of Laconian Mani\". Returning to Greece, he was hired by the IGME where he works to this day. During his long tenure at the Institute, he has prepared more than 300 reports, studies and publications on water resources, both underground and surface. At the same time, he has participated in various thematic committees within the IGME, either as chairman or as a member. He has served in various positions of responsibility within and outside the<br \/>\nEAGME (formerly IGME), always in the field of water resources, such as: Head of European<br \/>\nPrograms for Water Resources in various regions of the Country (1st CSF, 2nd CSF, 3rd CSF), Head of the \"National Groundwater Monitoring Network\",<br \/>\nHead of the \"Countrywide Borehole Inventory Program\", etc.),<br \/>\nmember of the \"National Water Council\", representative of IGME in consultations with the<br \/>\ncompetent European Commission for the formulation of DIRECTIVE 2000\/60 (2001-2010), reviewer of<br \/>\nscientific programs at the G.G.E.T., member of scientific committees of Conferences, etc.<br \/>\nHe has participated in the preparation and implementation of transnational research programs on water resources within the framework of scientific collaborations implemented over time by the IGME and has taken part in joint missions abroad (e.g. Israel, Palestine, Jordan,
