The programme provides funding of up to £10,000 to support international collaboration activities aimed at developing project proposals and consortia for future opportunities within Horizon Europe, through workshops, visits to partner universities, and participation in conferences.

Specifically, Gabriele Beretta is involved in the project Unsealing Europe’s Cities: An Atlas and Decision Tool for Soil, Water, Heat and Biodiversity Resilience, while Nikolas Galli is involved in the project Harnessing AI to understand the hydrological and ecological impacts of agricultural shifts on global health.

Both initiatives build on the work developed within the European Talent Academy 2025, further strengthening international collaborations and the research activities of our department.

Το έργο ONCODIR απαντά

Το παρακάτω άρθρο, που δημοσιεύθηκε από το Αθηναϊκό–Μακεδονικό Πρακτορείο Ειδήσεων (ΑΠΕ–ΜΠΕ), παρουσιάζει βασικά ευρήματα του ευρωπαϊκού έργου ONCODIR, το οποίο εξετάζει πώς οι αλλαγές στον τρόπο ζωής —ιδίως η τακτική άσκηση και η υγιεινή διατροφή— μπορούν να μειώσουν σημαντικά τον κίνδυνο εμφάνισης καρκίνου του παχέος εντέρου.

Το έργο ONCODIR συντονίζει η  Ομάδα M4D του Ινστιτούτου Τεχνολογιών Πληροφορικής (ΙΠΤΗΛ) του ΕΚΕΤΑ στην Ελλάδα με επιστημονικά υπεύθυνο τον Δρ. Στέφανο Βροχίδη. Καθοριστική συμμετοχή στο έργο έχει μεταξύ άλλων, ο μεταδιδακτορικός ερευνητής Θανάσης Μαυρόπουλος.

Οι ερευνητές της εν λόγω ομάδας ανέλυσαν δεδομένα από περισσότερες από 200 επιστημονικές μελέτες. Τα συμπεράσματά τους δείχνουν ότι, παρόλο που όλοι αντιμετωπίζουν έναν ορισμένο κίνδυνο ανάπτυξης καρκίνου του παχέος εντέρου (ιδίως όσοι έχουν οικογενειακό ιστορικό), η διατήρηση ενός υγιεινού τρόπου ζωής μπορεί να μειώσει σε μεγάλο βαθμό αυτόν τον κίνδυνο.

Κύριες συστάσεις περιλαμβάνουν τον περιορισμό της κατανάλωσης κόκκινου και επεξεργασμένου κρέατος, καθώς και την αύξηση της πρόσληψης τροφών πλούσιων σε φυτικές ίνες, όπως φρούτα, λαχανικά, δημητριακά ολικής άλεσης, όσπρια και ξηρούς καρπούς.

Πέρα από αυτά τα ευρήματα, το έργο ONCODIR έχει επίσης αναπτύξει μια καινοτόμο ψηφιακή πλατφόρμα πρόληψης. Χρησιμοποιώντας μοντέλα πρόβλεψης και εξατομικευμένες συστάσεις, η πλατφόρμα θα επιτρέπει στους χρήστες να καταγράφουν μέσω εφαρμογής κινητού τις διατροφικές τους συνήθειες, τη φυσική τους δραστηριότητα και άλλους παράγοντες τρόπου ζωής. Αυτά τα δεδομένα θα υποστηρίζουν τους επαγγελματίες υγείας στην παροχή εξατομικευμένης καθοδήγησης για την πρόληψη της νόσου..

Η πλατφόρμα αναμένεται να εφαρμοστεί πιλοτικά και να γίνει διαθέσιμη στην Ελλάδα, καθώς και σε άλλες ευρωπαϊκές χώρες στο προσεχές μέλλον.

Η προσέγγιση αυτή αναδεικνύει πώς η σύγχρονη επιστήμη δεδομένων και οι εξατομικευμένες τεχνολογίες υγείας μπορούν να υποστηρίξουν την πρόληψη μιας από τις πιο συχνές —αλλά και πιο αποτρέψιμες— μορφές καρκίνου, φέρνοντας στο προσκήνιο τη μακροπρόθεσμη σημασία των καθημερινών συνηθειών. 

Can everyday habits reduce cancer risk?

 The ONCODIR project has the answer

The following article, published by the Athens–Macedonian News Agency (AMNA), presents key findings from the European ONCODIR project, which investigates how lifestyle changes—especially regular exercise and a healthy diet—can significantly lower the risk of developing colorectal cancer.

The ONCODIR project is coordinated by the M4D Group of the Information Technologies Institute (ITI) at CERTH in Greece, with Dr. Stefanos Vrochidis as the scientific lead. Postdoctoral researcher Thanasis Mavropoulos is among the key contributors to the project. The research team analyzed data from more than 200 scientific studies. Their conclusions show that although everyone faces a certain risk of developing colorectal cancer (particularly those with a family history), maintaining a healthy lifestyle can substantially reduce that risk.

Key recommendations include limiting the consumption of red and processed meat, while increasing the intake of fiber- rich foods, such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes and nuts.

Beyond these findings, the ONCODIR project has also developed an innovative digital prevention platform. Using predictive models and personalized recommendations, the platform will allow individuals to record dietary habits, physical activity, and other lifestyle factors through a mobile application. This data will support healthcare professionals in providing tailored prevention guidance.

The platform is expected to be piloted and made available in Greece and other European countries in the near future.

This approach highlights how modern data science and personalized health technologies can support the prevention of one of the most common yet preventable forms of cancer — emphasizing the long-term impact of everyday habits.
