Dr Aris Georgopoulos has won a prestigious TED Ambassador Award in the contest organised by the Publications Office of the European Union for his research in the area of public procurement and more specifically the piece he wrote regarding the lessons learned from the EU's Joint Procurement for the acquisition of critical medical supplies during the COVID19.
The 'TED Ambassador award' is a competition that aims to identify and reward research in the field of public procurement since high-quality research is crucial for fostering innovation, sustainability and transparency in public procurement.
