Members of the foodigIT team participated in the AI for Science European Summer School (16–17 July) at the Acropolis Museum in Athens.
Organised by the Hellenic Institute of Advanced Studies with the support of Google DeepMind, the event brought together researchers and AI experts from across Europe to discuss the latest advances in artificial intelligence for scientific discovery.
Participating in events like this helps our team stay up to date with emerging AI developments and strengthen the knowledge and collaborations that support foodigIT's mission in computational food science and digital transformation.

The foodigIT team had the opportunity to participate in two scientific events held in Thessaloniki: the 30th edition of RECOMB, one of the world's leading conferences in bioinformatics and computational biology, and HBioinfo17, organized by the Hellenic Bioinformatics.
Beyond attending inspiring talks and discussions, we were delighted to present our poster: "Describing a Network-Based Organization of Microbiomes Across Food-Related Ecosystems".
The events offered valuable opportunities to exchange ideas, connect with researchers from Greece and abroad, and explore new perspectives at the intersection of computational biology, microbiome science, and food systems research.

FoodigΙΤ participated in SkillsCamp Kozani 2026, a dynamic program dedicated to communicating sustainability and the green transition.
As part of the event, Leonardos Stathas, a member of the FoodigIT research team, delivered a highly engaging talk on food safety and sustainability, a topic that affects all of us, perhaps more than we realize in our everyday lives.

For us at FoodigIT, this conversation is at the core of what we do. We believe that food safety is not just about inspections, but also about data, prediction, and understanding.

Our participation in SkillsCamp confirms our commitment to bridging science with real-world applications and contributing to a more sustainable and safer food system.

This weekend, the FoodigIT team hit the streets of Thessaloniki for the 20th Alexander the Great Marathon! 🏃‍♂️
Smiles, sweat, and amazing team spirit carried us all the way to the finish line.
We’re incredibly proud of everyone who participated! 👏
Congratulations to all the runners and organizers for creating such an unforgettable event!
