Head Physician of Astronauts at the ESA (European Space Agency), Dr. Adrianos Golemis, discusses with the columnist Anna Grimani and explains why space exploration is an investment for the future.

When we hear about space, we often imagine it as a remote place. However, it is closer than we think. Not only because space technologies already affect our daily lives, but also because Greece is actively participating, both with people and ideas.

In his interview with HuffPost, Dr. Adrianos Golemis, Head Physician of Astronauts at ESA and Corresponding Member of Komvos, opens a window into this world. He talks about space missions, the responsibility of preparing people for the extreme unknown — and the value of collaboration, human resilience, and science that cares.

The interview, given to Anna Grimani, a member of Komvos’ Board of Directors, is an opportunity to see that the Hellenic Diaspora is present in all fields of science worldwide.

But what are we doing in Greece? Komvos has already launched a new initiative to support the space science and industry in Greece. To bring researchers, educational institutions, businesses, and young people who dream the impossible closer together. So that we don’t always have to look abroad to see what we can do here.
