LinkedIn
Dr Flouris is an Associate Professor with the Department of Exercise Science at the University of Thessaly, Greece, and a Visiting Professor in Environmental Medicine with the Faculty of Health Sciences at the University of Ottawa, Canada. At the University of Thessaly, he is also the Chair of the Graduate Program “Military Fitness and Wellbeing” as well as a member of the University's Council for Research, Innovation, and Excellence. In addition, he is an External Advisory Board Member for the Department of Biosystems at KU Leuven in Belgium.
For over 15 years, Andreas has advised governments and international organizations, including the Cypriot Presidency, the Greek Ministry of Labour, and the Qatari Ministry of Labour, the World Health Organization, the International Labour Organization, the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control, the European Space Agency, and NASA, on the health effects of climate change and environmental factors, and on environmental sustainability, health impact assessment, and risk communication. Andreas has published widely and has been a Coordinator or Partner in numerous national and international research projects (>18M euro in the past 10 years), including small- and large-scale field studies, basic and applied laboratory research, clinical research, environmental monitoring and modelling, epidemiology, risk assessment and policy/economic analysis, as well as systematic reviews and meta-analyses.
Andreas imagines a world in which the vast majority of people understand how the environment impacts their life and plan their activities and goals in harmony with the long-term well-being of humanity. His goal is to get closer to that, to stand as a beacon that points towards that, and to offer the tools he can and inspire others to help him build tools to get to that world. He is a climate action advocate and he is working with national and international institutions to support climate action for a more sustainable world. He is also contributing to efforts translating scientific evidence to environmental, climate, and health policies for World Health Organization, the International Labour Organization, the Greek Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs, the Qatari Ministry of Administrative Development, Labor and Social Affairs, and other organizations. He frequently comments in national and global media, including BBC, CBC, Time magazine, Financial Times, New York Times, and HBO.
