This team is operating at the University of Piraeus, Dept. of Industrial Management. Its major research topics include  Environmental Planning, Operational Research, Scheduling Theory and Applications, Production Planning, Fuzzy Engineering, Operations and Project Management. It has been  involved in several research projects, both national (with several Greek industries) and international (e.g., TMR, ERASMUS, TEMPUS PHARE). It has co-organised two very important conferences in Greece. The first one, "1st Symposium for the Environment, Urban Waste Management and Recycling" took place at Patras from 23 to 25 January, 1992. The second one, "14th EURO Summer Institute on Environmental Planning" took place at Lagonissi from 7 to 21 June, 1996.
