Experience of the Organisation

Prof. Dr. Phoebe Koundouri founded The International Centre for Research on the Environment and the Economy (ICRE8) in June 2014. ICRE8 is the outcome of the evolution of the Research Team on Socio-Economic and Environmental Sustainability (ReSEES). ReSEES team was an umbrella (without a legal entity) for the research projects, publications and scientific, policy and social impact, produced by an interdisciplinary and international research team led by Prof. Phoebe Koundouri over the last 17 years.

Since 1997, ReSEES has attracted a total research funding of 20 million Euros. Approximately 150 Universities and Research Institutions have collaborated with ReSEES and 500 researchers have been collaborating and/or employed. So far, the approximate number of published peer-reviewed research papers and books is 250. The geographical distribution of research funding and research implementation is mainly Europe and the US, but also a significant number in Latin America, Africa, Asia and Australia. ReSEES output has influenced policy and attracted mass media coverage all over the world.
