Another success has been added to the DPESS of the University of Thessaly (UTH), which shows the strong dynamics of the Department in the field of research and the impact it has internationally. According to an authoritative study recently published by the internationally renowned Professor of Stanford University, Mr. Ioannidis, five active professors of our department and one Emeritus Professor are among the top 2% of the world's top researchers-scientists.
These are Professor Athanasios Jamurtas, Professor Athanasios Papaioannou, Professor Marina Papastergiou, Professor Ioannis Fatouros, Associate Professor Andreas Flouris and Professor Emeritus Yiannis Koutedakis, whose scientific work was deemed to contribute significantly in the advancement of science worldwide (full data available here: https://elsevier.digitalcommonsdata.com/datasets/btchxktzyw/6). A total of 37 faculty members from the University of Thessaly are on the same list.
It should be noted that in last year's edition of the study, which Prof. Ioannidis systematically prepares every year, the Department had 4 professors on the same list. The representation of the DPESS with 6 members at the world summit of researchers-scientists is the most numerous among all the departments of the University of Thessaly, as well as among the rest of sport science departments in the country.
Warm congratulations to the colleagues who highlight our Department, the University of Thessaly and our country with their work.
Nikolaos Digelidis
Professor & Head of the Department
