The Operational Unit BEYOND Center for Earth Observation Research and Satellite Remote Sensing at the National Observatory of Athens is seeking to hire a highly skilled and motivated Expert on Floods to join our team, contributing to cutting-edge applied research for the services of FloodHUB http://beyond-eocenter.eu/index.php/web-services/floodhub.
The MedFireWise project, coordinated by the BEYOND Centre of the National Observatory of Athens, was recently featured in the national newspaper TA NEA, in an article written by journalist Ifigeneia Virvidaki.
The article focuses on how the Mediterranean region is increasingly vulnerable to extreme wildfire events and how projects like MedFireWise are working to turn this challenge into an opportunity for cooperation and innovation.
H κλιματική αλλαγή μπορεί να λειτουργήσει ως καταλύτης για την ενεργειακή μετάβαση
Διαβάστε στην HuffPost Greece πώς το ευρωπαϊκό έργο E-DREAM (Energy Droughts and Resource Energy Assessment in the Mediterranean), που συντονίζει το Κέντρο BEYOND του Εθνικού Αστεροσκοπείου Αθηνών, αξιολογεί τις επιπτώσεις της κλιματικής αλλαγής στις ανανεώσιμες πηγές ενέργειας για την περιοχή της Μεσογείου.
To έργο E-DREAM χρηματοδοτείται από το ECMWF (European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts).
Συγκεντρώνοντας εκπροσώπους ερευνητικών φορέων, επιχειρήσεων που δραστηριοποιούνται στην ενέργεια, οργανισμών κοινής ωφέλειας, δημόσιων αρχών και φορέων χάραξης πολιτικής σε μια ενδιαφέρουσα διαδικτυακή συνάντηση για την ενέργεια στην περιοχή της Μεσογείου, πραγματοποιήθηκε στις 9 Οκτωβρίου 2025 το E-DREAM User Requirements Workshop.

Η «Καθημερινή» βρέθηκε στην Επιχειρησιακή Μονάδα BEYOND, η οποία είναι αρμόδια για την παρακολούθηση φυσικών καταστροφών
Smarter decisions about real-world problems start with better data – and Earth observation can provide just that, thanks to European efforts to open up access to massive amounts of satellite data collected every day.

Alexia Tsouni, NOA/BEYOND Research Associate, participated in the 24th CEOS (Committee on Earth Observation Satellites) Working Group Disasters Meeting on 30 September - 2 October 2025, in her capacity as coordinator of the Flood Pilot Balkans. On October 1st, she updated the participants about the Flood Diachronic Mapping Service in the transboundary Evros river basin, a fully automated Sentinel-1 based service developed by the FloodΗUB team of NOA/BEYOND. She also presented the interesting outcomes of the Regional Workshop on Copernicus tools for the flooding of Evros river, which was co-organised by NOA/BEYOND and the PRAXI Network on 15th May 2025 in Alexandroupolis, Greece, in the framework of the FPCUP programme (Caroline Herschel Framework Partnership Agreement on Copernicus User Uptake).
Alexia Tsouni highlighted, on the one hand, the engagement of key national stakeholders from the Municipality of Alexandroupoli, the Decentralized Administration of Macedonia - Thrace, the Region of Eastern Macedonia and Thrace, as well as the civil society (civil protection volunteer associations). On the other hand, she emphasized the cooperation with colleagues from Bulgaria (Prof. Hhristo Nikolov, Space Research and Technology Institute Bulgarian Academy of Sciences) and Turkey (Can Bayraktar, TÜBİTAK UZAY Space Technologies Research Institute, Senior Expert Researcher), as well as CEOS (Prof. Uriburu Quirno, Marcelo, CONAE, the National Commission on Space Activities, Argentina).
