The aforementioned research activity has led to a significant number of publications in internationally recognized journals of high impact and to the establishment of partnerships with research institutions in Greece and abroad as well as with times in the Agri-Food sector industry. In addition, it has successfully implemented and continues to implement large-scale research projects as the coordinator. Over the last 5 years, the Pomology Laboratory of AUTH has participated as the coordinator or as a member in 40 research projects funded by national or private funds.
