The Research Team from the Department of Environmental Physics of the National and Kapodistrian focuses on the study of climate change through the use of high spatial resolution climate models as well as with the supportive use of satellite remote sensing and geographical information systems. As far as climate change is concerned, considerable attention is given to its impact to the natural and cultural heritage of Greece and to such production sectors as agriculture, tourism and energy. Finally the team is involved in the preparation of climate change adaptation and mitigation plans. The Research Team participates to the National Network on Climate Change and its Impacts.

The Section of Greek and Roman Antiquity of the Institute of Historical Research of the NHRF focuses on the study of various theme and geographical areas, as well as different periods of time in the course of antiquity, and especially on those sectors, where the breach or delay of scientific research has left space for some innovative contribution on behalf of Greece to the international scientific study of Archaeology. The main goal is to reignite archaeological research through the study of all possible aspects of antiquity, starting from prehistoric times until the end of the ancient world in the 6th century AD, based on diverse genres of written sources and material remnants. What most contributes to the support of the research carried out by the scientific team of the Section, as well as by experts from the national and international scientific community, is the strengthening of the documentation infrastructure that can be found on the prolific archive of the Section, such as the archive of prints of Greek and Latin inscriptions of the Greek territory, the monetary file of casts of various regions and many more.
