Background
Eos.iti.gr builds on the background and experience that Dr. Ioannis Manakos accumulated by his interaction with all directly related or affiliated academics, researchers, technicians, with who he interacted and interacts within his studies and career.
A brief overview:
Dr. Ioannis Manakos is cooperating with academics and researchers from Europe, America, Asia and Africa in subjects relevant to research and development in Remote Sensing since 1996.
- He is Principal Researcher in ‘Remote Sensing’ at the Information Technologies Institute (ITI) of the Centre for Research and Technology Hellas (CERTH) .
- He was elected Chairman of the Special Interest Group ‘Remote Sensing in Land Use & Land Cover’of the European Association of Remote Sensing Laboratories (EARSeL) for the period 2011-2020, and Chairman of the EARSeL from 2012 till 2014.
- He serves as a member of the GEOBON Flagship within the Group on Earth Observations.
- He is an Adjunct Professor in Remote Sensing at the International Centre for Advanced Mediterranean Agronomic Studies (CIHEAM), where he was leading the Geoinformation in Environmental Management Dpt. for seven (7) years.
- His activity is also recognized at the South Central and Eastern European Regional Information Network (SCERIN), regional network of the GOFC-GOLD (Global Observation of Forest and Land Cover Dynamics) and GTOS (Global Terrestrial Observing System), where he serves as Lead in relation with the ‘Global/Continental land cover products validation and intercomparison in the SCERIN area’.
- His activity is also recognized at the South Central and Eastern European Regional Information Network (SCERIN), regional network of the GOFC-GOLD (Global Observation of Forest and Land Cover Dynamics) and GTOS (Global Terrestrial Observing System), where he served as Lead in relation with the ‘Global/Continental land cover products validation and intercomparison in the SCERIN area’.
