The Agricultural University of Athens (AUA) is the oldest and best known provider of University level education in the agricultural and related sciences in Greece.   It has a wide EU research portfolio.  The Legume Futures work is based in the Laboratory of Vegetable Production in collaboration with the Laboratory of Field Crops (both are sub-units of the Department of Crop Science).
 
The work in Legume Futures is led by Dr Dimitrios Savvas.  This involves the provision of site data and a case study in Work Package 1 and contributions to WP2,3,4,5,6 
AUA staff include:
 
Dimitrios Savvas                  
Agronomist.  Specialised in greenhouse crops with emphasis on plant nutrition, water management, and soil-less culture.
 
Harold-Christopher Passam        
Plant physiologist, quality and post-harvest physiology of vegetables.
 
Dimitrios Bilalis                     
Agronomist, specialist in organic agriculture and a Charter Member of ISOFAR (International Society of Organic Agriculture Research) and national delegate in IFOAM -EU part.
 
Konstantinos Akoumianakis
Agronomist.  potato propagation and crop physiology.
 
Ioannis Karapanos                
Agronomist, pollen physiology in fruit vegetables and post-harvest quality of vegetable products.
