On Wednesday 29th of December 2021, the contract for the study of the “Local Urban Plan of Pavlos Melas” was signed, at the City Hall of Pavlos Melas, between the Mayor Dimitris Demourtzidis and mr. George Tsakoumis, representative of the contractor ASSOCIATION OF FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS "GEORGIOS M. TSAKOUMIS & CO.” with distinctive title “CONSORTIS” and “NETWORK TECHNICAL STUDIES SOCIETE ANONYME” with distinctive title “NETWORK S.A”.

With the participation of officials and special scientists, the workshop on "Urban regeneration and revitalization of environmentally degraded areas" was held, within the framework of the Act "Ecological consciousness strengthening” and promotion of environmental volunteerism in the Municipality of Ampelokipi-Menemeni" of the Region of Central Macedonia’s OP 2014-2020.

During the workshop, issues, related to the Municipality were discussed, in two key sessions:

Consortis, within the framework of the Action "Strengthening ecological consciousness and promoting environmental volunteerism in the Municipality of Ampelokipi Menemeni" funded by the O.P.

In the context of the implementation of the Act entitled "Strengthening ecological consciousness and promoting environmental volunteerism in the Municipality of Ampelokipi-Menemeni", CONSORTIS, which is responsible for the project, undertook the organization of interactive workshops, setting as a basic objective the sensitization of the public on issues of volunteerism and environmental protection, as well as their activation for initiatives in this direction.

"The future of Artificial Intelligence (AI)", was the central theme in the innovation and technology exhibition, that took place on October 14th 2021, at Thessaloniki’s International Exhibition and Conference Center. Beyond 4.0, came in Thessaloniki for the first time and  lasted 3 days, aiming to turn the city into a technological and innovation hub.

The development of the building permit management system of the Pavlos Melas Municipality was completed in the framework of the project "Interoperability of Information Systems and Spatially Activated Mechanisms for Finding or Disposing Data in the Municipality of Pavlos Melas".

Engineers and citizens can now browse the app for the building permit needed and submit an online application. Login is achieved with TAXISnet codes on urban.pavlosmelas.gr

Floods are the second most common natural disaster after forest fires.

At times, they have caused and continue to cause deaths, population movements, damage to the human health, economic activity, infrastructure as well as the cultural heritage.

At the same time, they are responsible for the disruption and destruction of important 

The importance of geospatial information, management of geospatial data through Geographic

Sentinel-1 data from the @CopernicusEu have been used to derive the co-seismic ground motion after the M6.0 earthquake close to Elassona (Greece), that took place on 03/03/2021. The earthquake was quite severe leading to several damages in the area.

The estimated subsidence phenomena in the area reached about -38cm in the Line of Sight of the satellites.

Sustainable engineering and environmentally friendly projects include the use of resources in a way that does not endanger the environment and destroy materials which are going to be used by future generations (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, 2021).

Engineers play an important role in understanding climate change and in creating the necessary infrastructure to help address its consequences. That is why sustainability is a core value of Consortis.

According to the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNISDR):

"Climate-related disasters accounted for 91% of all recorded disasters between 1998 and 2017."

Consortis’s Urban Planning and Archtectural Design team has been carrying out a project related to the 3D architerctural mapping of the building complex of the company “KTYP S.A.”, in the center of Thessaloniki around the Church of Agios Minas.

On September 30, 2020 Consortis organized a teleconference on behalf of the Region of Central Macedonia (RCM) in the frame of "Development of an Integrated Observatory System for Preventing and Managing the Risk of Coastal Erosion due to the Impact of Climate Change through the Utilization of Earth Observation Data” project.

In the context of social responsibility and in order to keep you better informed during this difficult time, Consortis Geospatial's team created an interactive map where you can find information regarding the spread of Covid-19, both globally and nationally (Greece).

The data is updated daily and comes directly from:

• Johns Hopkins University Center for Systems Science and Engineering (JHU CSSE)

• The National Public Health Organization of Greece (NPHO) Specifically, for Greece you can also find data divided by region.

The kickoff meeting for the traffic study of Eordaia Municipality took place on the 14th of March in Ptolemaida.
