Projects
Athena pursues collaborative European research projects in public health, digital health, telemedicine, blockchain, citizen participation, and healthy ageing — working with institutional partners across multiple countries.
Gaia
The Gaia research stream focuses on advanced material sciences, investigating novel biomaterials and their applications in healthcare, dental science, and biomedical engineering.
Apollo
The Apollo programme encompasses Athena’s core public health, epidemiology, and community health research — including health inequality assessment, evidence-based intervention design, health literacy, and One Health approaches.
Asclepius
The Asclepius research stream covers clinical dentistry, adhesive materials, oral health equity, preventive dentistry, and elderly oral health — working across Athena’s clinical sciences partners in Europe and the Middle East.
Blockchain & Distributed Health Systems
Athena develops blockchain-based frameworks for secure and transparent health data management, telemedicine transactions, and consent-driven patient records using technologies such as Hyperledger Fabric and HL7 FHIR. This research stream explores how distributed ledger systems can improve trust, interoperability, and data governance across healthcare settings.
