Athens Science Festival 2025 | 18–21 December 2025
Our team was present at the Athens Science Festival 2025, at the booth of the Athena Research Center, participating in Greece’s largest celebration of science and innovation.
During the festival, Dr. Dr. Fivos Papadimitriou, Senior Researcher at AE4RIA, presented the work and mission of AE4RIA – Alliance of Excellence for Research and Innovation on Aephoria, along with key initiatives including the SDSN Global Climate Hub and the LUSI (Land Use Simulator).
LUSI – Sustainability Strategy Through a Board Game
LUSI is an interactive spatial strategy game inspired by the landscapes of Southern Europe. Designed as both a research and educational tool, LUSI highlights real-world land-use conflicts and supports sustainable land-use planning by fostering systems thinking, collaboration, and evidence-based decision-making.
AE4RIA’s participation in the Athens Science Festival demonstrates its ongoing commitment to bridging research, innovation, and society, making complex sustainability challenges accessible and actionable for a broad audience.
