PhD Candidate Mr. Athanasios Serafeim won the annual photo competition of the European Geosciences Union (EGU) General Assembly in Vienna, Austria. The photo shows the sunset view of the Simonopetra (Greek: Σιμωνόπετρα, literally: "Simon's Rock") Monastery, on the southern coast of the Athos peninsula, in Northern Greece. The monastery, which was built during the 13th century, is located at an altitude of 300 meters from the sea level, on a granite rock hillside and is one of the most daring buildings of Byzantine engineering, as it is a seven-storey tower building. The whole peninsula is an UNESCO world heritage site and [...]

Dr. Andreas Langousis, Associate Professor of the Department of Civil Engineering, has been recently announced Editor in Chief (EiC) of Stochastic Environmental Research and Risk Assessment (SERRA, IF 3.38, https://www.springer.com/journal/477). SERRA publishes research papers, reviews and technical notes on stochastic (i.e., probabilistic and statistical) approaches to environmental sciences and engineering, including the description, modelling and prediction of the spatiotemporal evolution of natural and engineered systems under conditions of uncertainty, risk assessment, interactions of terrestrial and atmospheric environments with people and the ecosystem, and environmental health. Its core aim is to bring together research in various fields of environmental, planetary and health [...]

The Laboratory of Hydraulic Engineering of the Department of Civil Engineering will organize the "3rd International Conference "DESIGN AND MANAGEMENT OF PORT, COASTAL AND OFFSHORE PROJECTS" at the Conference & Cultural Center of the University of Patras, 7-9 May 2025. The conference aims to present and stimulate comprehensive discussions on the contemporary and state-of-the-art scientific and technological results associated with the design, construction and management of harbor, coastal and offshore structures, emphasizing in supporting infrastructures for ships and floating structures of all kinds, the protection of coastal areas against erosion, the long lasting formation of coastal zone morphology, the protection of [...]
