Thanasis Stavrakoudis

Thanasis Stavrakoudis is an Associate Professor in the Department of Economics at the University of Ioannina, specializing in applications of informatics. He had assembled a team from multiple universities to create a public-use database for the economic history of Greece. This project aimed to consolidate and analyze public statistics from the country's inception to the present. However, the recent cancellation of funding for the initiative resulted in the scattering of talented students and researchers, undermining their faith in state support for academic endeavors.
