Aim of this course is to present to students the basic subjects on the biology of a cell. Thus, this course provide the basis for the comprehension at molecular level of the differences

between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, the knowledge on the different organelles and intracellular compartments of an eukaryotic cell (nucleus, endoplasmatic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, mitochondria etc) and the function of each one, the knowledge on the common macromolecules (nucleic acids, proteins, sugars and lipids) existing in all types of cells, the structure and the biological role of nucleic acids (DNA, RNA), the chromosomes and the cell cycle, the mechanisms responsible for the accurate replication of genetic information and the DNA mismatch repair system, the flow of genetic information (transcription, translation and protein synthesis), the structure of cell membranes lipid bilayers and their functionality (selective permeability), the basic principles of cellular metabolism, the structure and function of mitochondria and the production of energy through oxidative phosphorylation, and finally the structure and function of chloroplasts and the production of energy through photosynthesis. Laboratory exercises deal with some basic techniques used in a biology laboratory and aim at the acquaintance by the students of both the theoretical background, as well as the practical part of these techniques. These techniques include: the observation of the cells under the light microscope, the fractionation of the cells with aim to extract the macromolecules and organelles contained inside them (homogenization, lysis and centrifugation), the isolation of myosin from skeletal muscle tissue, the spectrophotometry and protein assay using the Bradford method, and the DNA isolation.

Student evaluation is done through final examinations (via computer). → Ques ons are in the form of: multiple choice (1 question with 4 possible answers,

of which only one answer is correct), correct / wrong (a suggestion where the student is

asked to judge whether its content is correct orincorrect)

matching (e.g. the organisms of a cell with theirnames).

Laboratory is examined independently of the theory of the course, while the final grade of the laboratory participates by 30% in the final grade of the course. A graduate grade (≥5) is required both in theory and in the laboratory so that a student can be considered


successful in the class. If one student succeeds in one of the two (theory, laboratory) then the next time (whenever) is examined only in what he/she failed. It is also possible for a student to be examined in the theory in 2 separate examinations → A 'and B' progress. In order to pass the theory through the 2 progressions it must have received at each degree ≥ 5. In this case, the final degree of the theory results from the average of the grades of 2 progressions. If a student fails to progress (and/or if he/she wishes to improve degree), he/she still has the right to be examined in the theory in the final exam.

Qualifications Framework of the European Higher Education Area




PART I: SEMINARS:The Food & Nutrition seminars organized in both semesters of each academic year (I & II respectively), are a series of 2 hour lectures presented by invited speakers mainly from the private Greek business sector of food and nutrition, and some from the academic area. The

selection of the speakers and the subject of each lecture are chosen in collaboration with the Greek Food Industry Association based in Athens. This way a first level of collaboration with the Greek business sector is established at the first steps of the department’s development. The seminars are sponsored by local food companies. This is because the events are open to the public, developing thus an innovative vocational training course for the local entrepreneurs, mainly a good chance for innovative, new knowledge, and education. Each semester a series of 10 lectures are organized. The seminars are part of the department strategic objective, adapted already by the general assembly, for effective approach, and collaboration with the Greek food business sector, and for better, and open communication with the society. This out‐looking approach will support the department’s prestige to the Greek food industry, the approach to the local community, and overall the employment and career of the department’s future graduates. It is for this main reason that the seminars are organized in collaboration with the primary national business associations of the food sector, and with the support of a local food company each time. In the contents of the above strategic objective, the secondary goals of the organized seminars are the following: A) The promotion and the support of the department at local, and national level: The seminars have become an annual event (part of the specific course) which is the main, and first bridge of the department with the society and the food business sector. This is a concept adapted by many international similar departments, but not adapted yet by the majority of the Greek institutions. Therefore the understanding and the adaptation of the concept by the Greek private sector is expected to take some time, and requires special efforts B) The acquaintance of the academic community and the students with CEOs and key entrepreneurs of the Greek food business sector: The 1‐2 day visit of the selected speakers in the town of Myrina is be a good chance for: a) the promotion and presentation of the department its content, and its potentials, b) the acquaintance of the students with experts and high rant officials from the business sector, c) the promotion of the Lemnos’ island, and its traditional, unique food products, d) the acquaintance of the local entrepreneurs with national experts of the specific business sector, e) the possible collaboration of the department with the food enterprises via specific research project developed. C) The first knowledge of the students with selected, successful, innovative, business projects from the food and nutrition sector: The seminars have become popular to the students, and an annual event (a first year course) with different speakers each year is attended by all department’s students giving them the chance to be acquainted with many key experts of the Greek food business sector. Specific effort is made to have innovative, new, modern food and nutrition subjects in all lectures in order to ensure high attendance by the students and the local public too. Thus the students have the chance to be informed on the up to date subjects that preoccupy the food business world. D) The development of an academic environment enriched with parameters of innovation, and practical knowledge, in connection with the outside, real food and nutrition private sector: The modern approach and use of innovation a necessary tool today for any effort for success and excellence, including the academic, requires the use of innovative, educational methodologies, and effective transfer of the knowledge, especially when it is realistic, daily know how taken from the real food business world. Such an innovative approach is chosen to be used within the content of this seminar – type course. With this educational approach

the innovation, the transfer of knowledge by examples strengthens the innovation culture, and concept to the students, forthcoming employees and CEOs in the highly competitive private food and nutrition sector. PART 2: VISITS TO LOCAL FOOD COMPANIES: The student’s acquaintance with the food industry at this preliminary stage of the educational curriculum is implemented through ad hoc visits to local food factories, gaining of experience, and finally formulating a report for each visit separately. This way the student has the chance for the first time, and from the early stage of his studies to gain personal experience not only of the food production facilities, the process, and the quality control, but also of the entrepreneurial framework based on which each food company is based on. Within this framework the student is able to connect the gaining scientific knowledge through his academic years with the realistic, Greek environment of the food industry (a place where most likely he will work and perform afterwards). In addition this business contact, practical knowledge, and discussion with the entrepreneur and his staff gives the chance to the student to have a first understanding on how the business world operates, profits, and develops. How someone is becoming a successful entrepreneur, materializes his dreams and objectives, and operates a business. Thus the alternative for an entrepreneurship career is introduced to the student at this early academic stage. General Competences Taking into consideration the general competences that the degree‐holder must acquire (as these appear in the Diploma Supplement and appear below), at which of the following does the course aim?



Working independently Decision‐making Team work Criticism and self criticism

Production of free, creative and inductive thinking

(3) SYLLABUS

1. SEMINARS:The exact program of each semesters’ seminar (10 lectures total) is organized and publicized at the beginning of each semester, so that the students, and the local entrepreneurs are aware of the weekly lecture, the speaker and the topic. All seminars are first announced at the announcement link of the department’s web site (www.fns.aegean.gr) and all past seminar programs are stored at a separate link named “seminars of food and nutrition” of the department/s website.

2. VISITS TO COMPANIES:Every weekly “laboratory” type of lesson (visit to a company) is compromised by two

phases: A’ PHASE: VISIT TO FOOD FACTORY OF 4‐5 HOUR DURATION: Each visit lasts approximately 4‐5 hours and includes the following stages:

1st stage: Introduction to the specific company, its history, its products, distribution networks etc.:

The entrepreneur, or someone from his staff implements an hour presentation to the students regarding data and other information related to the specific company

2nd stage: Visit to the production facilities of the company: Students visit the production facilities where the production processes are explained and

analyzed by specific staff of the company. 3rd stage: Production of selected products by the student themselves: The students have the chance, under the supervision of the staff, to prepare their owns

specific products 4th stage: Discussion on specific issues concerning the company and its products: The students, following the visit in the production area, have the chance to meet the

entrepreneur and his staff again and discuss with him any subject related to his company. They ask questions and receive appropriate answers. Thus the students gain an overview of the company its products, its finances, and the personality of the entrepreneur itself.

B’ PHASE: REPORTING: For every visit a report is prepared by a group of maximum 3 students. Every report

includes the following main items: 1. Introduction to the specific sector of business activity2. Company’s objectives3. Description of the production process4. Description of the products produced by the specific company5. The network used for the promotion and sale of the products6. The competition, and the competitive products in the market where the company is

operating7. Human resources utilized by the company8. ConclusionsEach year the items of the report do change depending on the food market conditions and

tendencies as well as the characteristics of the national and global crisis and the customers tendencies.

Each semester the students visit three local manufacturing food companies of different sectors, such as bakery, dairy, winery etc. Each year different companies are selected fo the course

The students’ evaluation is based both on the evaluation of the seminars and the evaluation of the visits 1. SEMINARS:The students’ evaluation is based on their attendance of the seminars and their active participation during lecture time, and the exams at the end of the semester based on the contents of the 10 seminars 2. VISITS:The grading from the visits is based on the average of the grades that the student gets on the three reports which he submits at the end of the semester (1 for each visit). The reports are formulated by each group of maximum 3 students each. The overall grading is calculated based on: exam’s grade X 30% + grade from the reports X 70%

Aim of this course is to help students understand the basic biology of microorganisms, that is the fundamental characteristics governing their structure and function. Thus, this course focuses on the primary characteristics of different types of microbial cells, on cell envelope of prokaryotes (bacteria), on nutrients (macronutrients, micronutrients and growth factors) which are essential for the nutrition of microorganisms, on the basic principles of cellular microbial metabolism and on the main catabolic reactions (aerobic, anaerobic respiration, fermentation) which produce energy, on the growth mode of microorganisms, on the main environmental parameters (temperature, pH, water activity, oxygen) affecting microbial growth, on the physical (e.g. heating, refrigeration, decrease of water activity) and on the chemical (e.g. antibiotics, antiseptics, disinfectants) methods which are used to control microbial growth, on the essential characteristics of viruses and on the viral growth cycle, on the eukaryotic microorganisms (fungi, algae, protozoa and helminths), on the human‐microbe interactions and finally on the mechanisms of pathogenesis of microorganisms. Following successive participation in laboratorial exercises, the students will be able: to observe microorganisms under the microscope (fixation and staining procedures), to prepare microbiological growth media, to safely manipulate microbial cultures (following the rules of aseptic technique), to isolate microorganisms in pure cultures and subsequently use them to inoculate fresh sterile media, to estimate the microbial load of a sample by different ways (e.g. enumeration using petri plates, turbidimetry), and finally to make a first estimation of the species of an unknown microorganism, based on some simple biochemical tests.

(30 h/ECTS)



Student evaluation is done through final examinations (via computer). → Ques ons are in the form of: multiple choice (1 question with 4 possible

answers, of which only one answer is correct), correct / wrong (a suggestion where the

student is asked to judge whether its content is correct or incorrect)

matching (e.g. the organisms of a cell with their names).

Laboratory is examined independently of the theory of the course, while the final grade of the laboratory participates by 30% in the final grade of the course. A graduate grade (≥5) is required both in theory and in the laboratory so that a student can be considered successful in the class. If one student succeeds in one of the two (theory, laboratory) then the next time (whenever) is examined only in what he/she failed. It is also possible for a student to be examined in the theory in 2 separate examinations → A 'and B' progress. In order to pass the theory through the 2 progressions it must have received at each degree ≥ 5. In this case, the final degree of the theory results from the average of the grades of 2 progressions. If a student fails to progress (and/or if he/she wishes to improve degree), he/she still has the right to be examined in the theory in the final exam.

PART I: SEMINARS: The Food & Nutrition seminars organized in both semesters of each academic year (I & II respectively), are a series of 2 hour lectures presented by invited speakers mainly from the private Greek business sector of food and nutrition, and some from the academic area. The selection of the speakers and the subject of each lecture are chosen in collaboration with the Greek Food Industry Association based in Athens. This way a first level of collaboration with the Greek business sector is established at the first steps of the department’s development. The seminars are sponsored by local food companies. This is because the events are open to the public, developing thus an innovative vocational training course for the local entrepreneurs, mainly a good chance for innovative, new knowledge, and education. Each semester a series of 10 lectures are organized. The seminars are part of the department strategic objective, adapted already by the general assembly, for effective approach, and collaboration with the Greek food business sector, and for better, and open communication with the society. This out‐looking approach will support the department’s prestige to the Greek food industry, the approach to the local community, and overall the employment and career of the department’s future graduates. It is for this main reason that the seminars are organized in collaboration with the primary national business associations of the food sector, and with the support of a local food company each time. In the contents of the above strategic objective, the secondary goals of the organized seminars are the following: A) The promotion and the support of the department at local, and national level: The seminars have become an annual event (part of the specific course) which is the main, and first bridge of the department with the society and the food business sector. This is a concept adapted by many international similar departments, but not adapted yet by the majority of the Greek institutions. Therefore the understanding and the adaptation of the concept by the Greek private sector is expected to take some time, and requires special efforts B) The acquaintance of the academic community and the students with CEOs and key entrepreneurs of the Greek food business sector: The 1‐2 day visit of the selected speakers in the town of Myrina is be a good chance for: a) the promotion and presentation of the department its content, and its potentials, b) the acquaintance of the students with experts and high rant officials from the business sector, c) the promotion of the Lemnos’ island, and its traditional, unique food products, d) the acquaintance of the local entrepreneurs with national experts of the specific business sector, e) the possible collaboration of the department with the food enterprises via specific research project developed. C) The first knowledge of the students with selected, successful, innovative, business projects from the food and nutrition sector: The seminars have become popular to the students, and an annual event (a first year course) with different speakers each year is attended by all department’s students giving them the chance to be acquainted with many key experts of the Greek food business sector. Specific effort is made to have innovative, new, modern food and nutrition subjects in all lectures in order to ensure high attendance by the students and the local public too. Thus the students have the chance to be

informed on the up to date subjects that preoccupy the food business world. D) The development of an academic environment enriched with parameters of innovation, and practical knowledge, in connection with the outside, real food and nutrition private sector: The modern approach and use of innovation a necessary tool today for any effort for success and excellence, including the academic, requires the use of innovative, educational methodologies, and effective transfer of the knowledge, especially when it is realistic, daily know how taken from the real food business world. Such an innovative approach is chosen to be used within the content of this seminar – type course. With this educational approach the innovation, the transfer of knowledge by examples strengthens the innovation culture, and concept to the students, forthcoming employees and CEOs in the highly competitive private food and nutrition sector. PART 2: VISITS TO LOCAL FOOD COMPANIES: The student’s acquaintance with the food industry at this preliminary stage of the educational curriculum is implemented through ad hoc visits to local food factories, gaining of experience, and finally formulating a report for each visit separately. This way the student has the chance for the first time, and from the early stage of his studies to gain personal experience not only of the food production facilities, the process, and the quality control, but also of the entrepreneurial framework based on which each food company is based on. Within this framework the student is able to connect the gaining scientific knowledge through his academic years with the realistic, Greek environment of the food industry (a place where most likely he will work and perform afterwards). In addition this business contact, practical knowledge, and discussion with the entrepreneur and his staff gives the chance to the student to have a first understanding on how the business world operates, profits, and develops. How someone is becoming a successful entrepreneur, materializes his dreams and objectives, and operates a business. Thus the alternative for an entrepreneurship career is introduced to the student at this early academic stage.

(3) SYLLABUS

1. SEMINARS: The exact program of each semesters’ seminar (10 lectures total) is organized and publicized at the beginning of each semester, so that the students, and the local entrepreneurs are aware of the weekly lecture, the speaker and the topic. All seminars are first announced at the announcement link of the department’s web site (www.fns.aegean.gr) and all past seminar programs are stored at a separate link named “seminars of food and nutrition” of the department/s website.

2. VISITS TO COMPANIES: Every weekly “laboratory” type of lesson (visit to a company) is compromised by

two phases: A’ PHASE: VISIT TO FOOD FACTORY OF 4‐5 HOUR DURATION: Each visit lasts approximately 4‐5 hours and includes the following stages: 1st stage: Introduction to the specific company, its history, its products, distribution

networks etc.: The entrepreneur, or someone from his staff implements an hour presentation to

the students regarding data and other information related to the specific company

2nd stage: Visit to the production facilities of the company: Students visit the production facilities where the production processes are explained

and analyzed by specific staff of the company. 3rd stage: Production of selected products by the student themselves: The students have the chance, under the supervision of the staff, to prepare their

owns specific products 4th stage: Discussion on specific issues concerning the company and its products: The students, following the visit in the production area, have the chance to meet the

entrepreneur and his staff again and discuss with him any subject related to his company. They ask questions and receive appropriate answers. Thus the students gain an overview of the company its products, its finances, and the personality of the entrepreneur itself.

B’ PHASE: REPORTING: For every visit a report is prepared by a group of maximum 3 students. Every report

includes the following main items: 1. Introduction to the specific sector of business activity 2. Company’s objectives 3. Description of the production process 4. Description of the products produced by the specific company 5. The network used for the promotion and sale of the products 6. The competition, and the competitive products in the market where the

company is operating 7. Human resources utilized by the company 8. Conclusions Each year the items of the report do change depending on the food market

conditions and tendencies as well as the characteristics of the national and global crisis and the customers tendencies.

Each semester the students visit three local manufacturing food companies of different sectors, such as bakery, dairy, winery etc. Each year different companies are selected fo the course

Aim of this course is to help students understand the outstanding importance of microorganisms for foods (mainly with regard to their negative impact: spoilage and cause of foodborne diseases). Thus, this course focuses on the predominant types of microorganisms in foods (bacteria, molds, yeasts, protozoa and viruses), on their sources, on the microflora

of various food types, on the characteristics of microbial growth in foods (sigmoidal growth curve of batch culture) and the phenomena which may be observed during it (diauxie, mutualism, synergism, antagonism), on the intrinsic (e.g. nutrients, water activity) and extrinsic (e.g. temperature, relative humidity of the environment) parameters affecting microbial growth in foods, on the metabolism (aerobic, anaerobic respiration and fermentation) of principal food components (carbohydrates, proteins and lipids) by microorganisms, on the important factors of microbial food spoilage, on the indicators (sensory, microbiological and chemical) of microbial food spoilage and the main microorganisms associated with the spoilage of various food types, on the significance of foodborne diseases for the public health and economy of a country, on the types of microbial foodborne diseases (foodborne intoxications, infections and toxicoinfections) and the pathogenic microorganisms associated with each type and finally on the microbial indicators used to assess the safety of various foods (e.g. coliforms, enterococci). Laboratorial exercises are designed to help students better understand some of the key questions addressed by the theory of the course. General Competences Taking into consideration the general competences that the degree‐holder must acquire (as these appear in the Diploma Supplement and appear below), at which of the following does the course aim?

Student evaluation is done through final examinations (via computer).

→ Ques ons are in the form of: multiple choice (1 question with 4 possible answers,


asked to judge whether its content is correct or incorrect)

matching (e.g. the organisms of a cell with their names).

Laboratory is examined independently of the theory of the course, while the final grade of the laboratory

participates by 30% in the final grade of the course. A graduate grade (≥5) is required both in theory and in the laboratory so that a student can be considered

successful in the class. If one student succeeds in one of the two (theory, laboratory) then the next time

(whenever) is examined only in what he/she failed. It is also possible for a student to be examined in the

theory in 2 separate examinations → A 'and B' progress. In order to pass the theory through the 2

progressions it must have received at each degree ≥ 5. In this case, the final degree of the theory results from

the average of the grades of 2 progressions.

If a student fails to progress (and/or if he/she wishes to improve degree), he/she still has the right to be

examined in the theory in the final exam.

The food companies constitute a specific sector, subdivision of the overall business environment and therefore are directed by the same rules, and regulations which are opposed to all companies regardless sector of activity. The students are acquainted first with the internal structures of the companies and the good management practices required for better operation and growth, and second with the effects the environment is introducing to the companies’ operation. Furthermore the students are introduced to the terms of effective management with emphasis to the programming, organization, direction, auditing, and decision processing.

Without covering each one of the above subjects related to business management in depth, the students in the current course are assisted to gain an overall, and comprehensive view at the introductory level, and to understand terminology and subjects which they will need later on in the following years of education, and the rest of their professional career, especially since there is good chance they will be occupied in the Greek food business sector (25% of the Greek overall business sector).

Food businesses are 26% of Greek industry, and contribute 23% of national GDP. That means that a sufficient number of companies exist for effective integration of department’s graduates into the labour market. In this context, the design and implementation of an institutional practical training placement is a key part of the curriculum of the Department This is a pioneering and innovative practical training course, which seeks the following objectives: • To create suitable conditions for communication and knowledge of the students with thecounterparts companies, to facilitate their professional orientation, and to support the finding a job after graduation. • To familiarize students with the widest possible range of food businesses and with thebasic principles of organization, operation and development. • To enrich the students with experience in practical application of modern developments infood and nutrition, and adaptation of manufacturing processes and certification of these products as they are implemented on an industrial scale.

The institution's practical training purpose is to familiarize the students with the market reality, and its existing conditions food entrepreneurship and selected public organizations at the national level. The institution of practice aims to bring the student into direct contact with business and labour reality and to combine, as far as possible, the theoretical training with experiential training and familiarization with the production process.General Competences Taking into consideration the general competences that the degree‐holder must acquire (as these appear in the Diploma Supplement and appear below), at which of the following does the course aim?



Adapting to new situations Decision‐making Production of new research ideas Project planning and management Criticism and self criticism

(2) SYLLABUS

Those students interested in participating in the course, complete relevant application form and submit to the Secretariat of the practical training program before the closing date for applications, which is determined by the announcement of the program’s Secretariat. The choice of the specific placement position for each student is made by the scientific director of the practical training program, based on academic performance, student preferences, and previous experience. Particular care and attention is given in finding a business or organization in the district area of permanent residence of each student so that future direct link to the "local" labor market can be matched, and ensure a harmonious work during practice at the proximal family environment. The practical training program is prepared with the support of the Office of Employment & Career (DASTA) of the university, operating within the department. The practical training for all academic years so far is funded, by the means of minimum monthly salaries for the students, by the a specific funding program of The University of the Aegean (sponsored by the E.C. through the Greek ministry of Education). It is estimated that more than 90% of the sophomores participate in the course each year, a number which indicates the student’s interest for the food business reality. In addition, every year as part of the practical training program group of students voluntarily participate in the pilot production of innovative new foods, in collaboration with Greek food companies. With this food they participate at the European students’ competition named “Ecotrophelia”, which is implemented in Greece by the Association of the Greek Food Industry (SEVT). Every year at least three such groups of students are formed, producing three new products, and every year one of those products is awarded one of the awards offered by the competition (for the last 7 years now!!))

The world is experiencing a period of radical changes. The current economic crisis increases the percentage of poverty, and unemployment worldwide, which are tackled by supporting economic packages towards specific countries worldwide. The aim of these packages is to bring back the stability and the economic growth. In parallel, the rich countries of the west are suffering from decrease in the annual growth rate, while the economic power is steadily passing to the countries of the eastern hemisphere, which are reporting increased annual growth rate. These and other global changes demand a new radical consideration of the strategic marketing theories, which leads to the new updated marketing theory, the marketing 3.0. The objective of this course is the introduction to marketing 3.0, or otherwise to the era of values. In this new period where the experts of marketing do not deal with the human existence as simply the consumer – customer (marketing 2.0), but they approach it as a hole with mind, heart, and spirit. In this new period, the people do

not search the satisfaction to the products and the services which they choose only at the functional and emotional level, but at the human – spiritual level. In this new period, the companies move the center of their activities from the consumer to the human being, and balance their profit tactics towards the cooperative social responsibility. Companies are producing profit by developing values for their customers, and their shareholders. They accept their customers as a strategic start up level for growth understanding his human nature, and concentrating to his real needs, and worries! General Competences Taking into consideration the general competences that the degree‐holder must acquire (as these appear in the Diploma Supplement and appear below), at which of the following does the course aim?

The course is separated in 4 units. In the first unit are summarized the more basic tendencies of enterprising world that describe the anthropocentric character of marketing and place the bases for Marketing 3.0. In the second unit it is explained how a company can transmit the objectives, the vision, and her values in each one from its basic partners, that the consumers, the workers, its collaborators of its network and its shareholders. In the Third unit are presented the opinions of the more basic aspects of application of Marketing 3.0 in the frames of effort of confrontation of big world challenges, as the prosperity, the poverty and the environmental viability, and it is described how the organizations can apply the anthropocentric model. And finally in the fourth unit the ten basic significances of Marketing 3.0 are desrcibed with selective examples of companies that have incorporated the basics of models in their activities. The units and their chapters are the following:

FIRST UNIT: 1. Acquaintance with the Marketing 3.0 2. The future Model of Marketing 3.0 SECOND UNIT: 3. Promotion of Corporate Vision in Consumers 4. Promotion of Corporate Values in Workers 5. Promotion of Corporate Values in Partners 6. Promotion of Corporate Vision in the Shareholdersr THIRD CHAPTER: 1. Promotion of the vision to the social and political changes 2. Promotion of new entrepreneurs in the new developing countries 3. Contribution of the companies to the environmental sustainability FOURTH CHAPTER:

The aim of the course is twofold. It initially aims at introducing students to the manifold and autonomous scientific field of Toxicology. Students are familiarized with the basic principles governing the science of Toxicology, such as exposure, toxicokinetics and toxicodynamics of xenobiotic substances. Special emphasis is also laid on the mechanisms of chemical carcinogenesis, as well as on the analytical methods used for the detection and the toxicity assessment of xenobiotic substances. At a next step, the course is focused on specific categories of toxic substances that are usually detected on foods either as endogenous naturally occurring food substances or as exogenous substances produced by the human activities. The specific course sections include representative toxic food substances and analyze the mechanisms of actions of these toxic substances and their adverse effects on human

health. General Competences Taking into consideration the general competences that the degree‐holder must acquire (as these appear in the Diploma Supplement and appear below), at which of the following does the course aim?

This course is divided into two thematic areas. The first one is occupied with the main ways used to control the growth of undesirable microorganisms (spoilage, pathogens) in foods, while the second one is occupied with the beneficial effects of useful microorganisms in

foods. With respect to the first area, its aim is to present students the main physical and chemical ways used to prevent microbial growth or /and to kill microorganisms in a food, how each way produces the desirable antimicrobial effect (mode of action) and the parameters affecting this (with respect to the nature of food, the nature of microorganisms and the nature of antimicrobial treatment). Thus, this area focuses on cleaning and disinfection procedures (sanitation), on the death of microorganisms by heat treatment, on the microbiostatic effects of low temperature (refrigeration, freezing) and low water activity (aw), on the reduction of pH value of a food through addition of weak organic acids in order to control microbial growth, on the preservation of foods under modified atmosphere packaging (MAP), on the addition of chemical antimicrobial substances (preservatives) to foods and finally on the germicidal action of food irradiation. With respect to the second area, its aim is to present students the main beneficial aspects of useful microorganisms in foods. Thus, this part focuses on the main types of microorganisms used in food fermentations (lactic acid bacteria), on the microbiology of some fermented foods (yogurt, cheese, fermented sausages and vegetables) and finally on the probiotic microorganisms (Bifidobacterium, Lactobacillus) and their possible positive effects in human health (reducing intestinal disorders, preventing colon cancer, immunomodulation etc). Laboratorial exercises are designed to help students better understand some of the key questions addressed by the theory of the course.

If one student succeeds in one of the two (theory, laboratory) then the next time (whenever) is examined only in what he/she failed. It is also possible for a student to be examined in the theory in 2 separate examinations → A 'and B' progress. In order to pass the theory through the 2 progressions it must have received at each degree ≥ 5. In this case, the final degree of the theory results from the average of the grades of 2 progressions.

New Product Development refers to the process of developing new products, or improving existing ones. Central to this activity are entrepreneurs: innovative and risk‐taking individuals who seek to bring about change and new opportunities, both for themselves and for the business communities in which they operate. Such persons play a vital important role in commerce, trade, and economic growth in many nations, through the practice of

innovation. Innovation Management and New Product Development course provides students with the knowledge and techniques required to improve product quality and process efficiency by identifying and measuring production process variability which, if not successfully addressed, leads to inconsistent product quality, costly wastage, non‐standardization and other reliability and productivity problems. A significant focus of the course is the key element of entrepreneurship, innovation. Innovation is an important prerequisite for gaining a competitive advantage and for building a strong and sustainable business. Modern thriving enterprises demand constant levels of innovation. The scope and richness of theoretical developments in the discipline of innovation, offers potential for students to develop substantial skills in understanding the discipline, its role in new product development and in the development of successful, contemporary organizations. This will enable students to deal successfully with dynamic demands from markets and customers that are becoming even more sophisticated and knowledgeable. The course structure will support students to gain the knowledge and skills they need for innovation management and new product development. Within this context, each module includes a case study suitable for class discussion. The cases are short enough to serve as illustrations, but have sufficient content to serve as the basis of the module. This course is designed to provide a comprehensive coverage of innovation management and new product development. Emphasis will be placed on both theory and implementation of innovation management.

This is an introductory course to food hygiene and food safety. It aims to familiarize the students with (i) the terms of food quality, food hygiene and food safety, (ii) the differences between microbiological food safety and microbiological food quality, (iii) the biological, chemical and physical hazards encountered in foods and (iv) the basic hygienic codes of

practice given in terms of Good Manufacturing/Hygienic Practices (GMPs/GHPs), which are also considered prerequisites for HACCP and the implementation of food safety management systems.

Moreover, the course is dealing with the behavior of the end user (food consumer) towards its awareness and training on food hygiene and food safety issues, regarding particularly its attitude in the kitchen. Common misconceptions of consumer behavior in the domestic practice of handling and processing foods are described, by providing also a variety of examples.

The course’s main objective is the comprehension by the students of the key principles and concepts of Food Hygiene for assuring food SQA; Safety, Quality and Acceptability. The course also aims to study food consumer’s behavior and to analyze the way food consumers’ think and act, especially in their kitchen, by addressing situations that can jeopardize food safety and hence human health itself.

Biotechnology refers to the exploitation of biological processes for industrial purposes. Food Biotechnology, more specifically, employs the genetic manipulation of microorganisms,

plants and animals for food production. It is an interdisciplinary subject that encompasses the sciences of Molecular Biology, Biomedicine as well as the genomics, proteomics, transcriptomics and metagenomics applications. Students who succeed in the Food Biotechnology course understand "classical Biotechnology", describe the main foods resulting from fermentation and the action of microorganisms responsible for food fermentations, analyze the "modern" Biotechnology, state the genetic processes that are responsible for the biological functions, but also how these processes lead to product development, identify key genetically modified food and describe in a broad sense the modern national and European legislation on food production, describe the concept of functional foods and their basic categories, and mention the main bioethical problems that arise from Biotechnology applications in the food industry.

Aim of this course is to help students explore and learn the honeybee society in theory and in practice. Students will comprehend the important contribution of honeybee products to human nutrition and health as well as the crucial impact of honeybees to the environmental equilibrium and biodiversity maintenance, through pollination. Theory lessons cover biology and behaviour of honeybees as well as the structure and function of the honeybee colony as a "superorganism". Furthermore, students will learn applied apiculture with emphasis on seasonal manipulations in order to optimize the production of qualitative beehive products. Bee pathology will also be a subject of training aiming at the control of bee pests without chemical treatments and pesticides residues on bee products. Παρέχεται γενική γνώση για την παθολογία και την αντιμετώπιση εχθρών και ασθενειών του μελισσιού με στόχο την παραγωγή προϊόντων χωρίς χημικά κατάλοιπα. Beehive products will also be studied.

Student evaluation is done through final written examinations → Ques ons are in the form of: multiple choice (1 question with 4 possible

answers, of which only one answer is correct), Short‐answer questions. Laboratory is examined independently of the theory of the course, while the final grade of the laboratory participates by 30% in the final grade of the course. A graduate grade (≥5) is required both in theory and in the laboratory so that a student can be considered successful in the class. If one student succeeds in one of the two (theory, laboratory) then the next time (whenever) is examined only in what he/she failed. It is also possible for a student to be examined in the theory in 2 separate examinations → A 'and B' progress. In order to pass the theory through the 2 progressions it must have received at each degree ≥ 5. In this case, the final degree of the theory results from the average of the grades of 2 progressions. If a student fails to progress (and/or if he/she wishes to improve degree), he/she still has the right to be examined in the theory in the final exam.

The module aims to enable students to develop a holistic understanding of the challenges and opportunities which new businesses bring, working in the team settings frequently found in business contexts; to help them develop an understanding of team dynamics and to put

that understanding to work synthesising the functional foundations of business knowledge (e.g. marketing, finance, strategy, operations and law) into a coherent and unified formal document – the Business Plan; and to give students an opportunity to develop self‐directed learning strategies, not least through developing an ability to reflect on the entrepreneurial process, team dynamics and personal development. Upon successful completion of the course, students will be able to: Critically discuss and analyse the concepts of formulating a Business Plan Demonstrate an ability to engage in entrepreneurial and innovation processes for new

product development and codifying these processes into a formal document – “The Business Plan” Create, analyse and critically evaluate new business models and innovation plans for new

ventures Interpret primary and secondary market research for a new business venture Assess the commercial feasibility of a new business venture Develop case study analysis skills (specifically, identifying critical issues in case studies and

applying course material to case studies

Taking into consideration the general competences that the degree‐holder must acquire (as these appear in the Diploma Supplement and appear below), at which of the following does the course aim?



By the end of the module students should be able to: understand the environment of the entrepreneur and business; undertake the business planning process and construct a business plan; understand how to justify and implement such plans, both at the idea generation stage (via an 'elevator pitch') and the plan implementation stage (via the group business plan). In addition, they will be able to understand the legal implications of different forms of business organization; have a critically aware understanding of the opportunities and challenges presented in the entrepreneurial process; demonstrate a more holistic understanding of major new venture creation challenges and how to apply concepts and theoretical understandings gained in addressing a practical problem scenario. Finally, students will be able to demonstrate skills in the articulation of communication strategies; demonstrate skills in self‐directed teamwork; communicate, negotiate and advocate ideas; and work effectively in teams in an virtual entrepreneurial setting

(3) SYLLABUS

This course teaches students how to estimate the market potential for their technologies and business ideas and learn how to build successful companies around them. It provides a rigorous and realistic experience in the process necessary to prepare a business plan that will

attract investors to a venture. The course will emphasize collection and organization of the fundamental information necessary to prove the viability of students’ business idea and establish that it can become a self‐sustaining company. There will be heavy emphasis on knowing the customers intimately; on careful analysis of all the potential competitors; and on understanding the external environment and how it can affect your business. Your products and support services should be designed around the customers’ needs and should use your strengths to develop a convincing competitive advantage. The plan must thoroughly explain how all these factors have been taken into consideration in designing your business strategy. Finally all these elements must be reflected in your financial projections.. This will enable students to deal successfully with dynamic demands from markets and customers that are becoming even more sophisticated and knowledgeable. The purpose of this module is to examine the theory and the practice of entrepreneurship and new business planning for both product and service oriented firms. Entrepreneurship is studied in terms of opportunity recognition, the process of new venture creation and the determinants of new venture success. Assessment is based on students’ participation in class on identifying a new business opportunity and preparing a plan and business pitch for a new business. The module is delivered through 12 weekly lectures. In each lecture a case study from a real venture is discussed. The cases are short enough to serve as illustrations, but have sufficient content to serve as the basis of the module. This course is designed to provide a comprehensive coverage of New Ventures Business Planning. Emphasis will be placed on both theory and implementation of Business Planning in order to elaborate on the challenges and opportunities that New Ventures bring. To enhance students awareness and comprehension of New Business Planning management challenges module themes and lectures have been allocated as follows: Part 1 Defining the New Venture Project, Environment & Beneficiaries Resource Assessment & Business Selection Part 2 Market Research Competitor Analysis Operational Sales & Marketing Plans Part 3 Management Structure Risk Analysis & Mitigation Finance – individual businesses (P&L, Cash flow, investment, production plan) Finance – institution (financial self‐sufficiency) Part 4 Integration of the business and education Action Plan – Telling your story well Upon successful completion of the course, students will be able to have: • A very clear understanding of the business plan process and what is necessary to obtain funding for it. • A working knowledge of all the components of a business plan and how they should fit together to tell a compelling story. • An understanding of basic financial statements and how to use them to project future cash needs • The skills and confidence needed to present the plan to investors.

This will be a highly interactive class, involving frequent presentation of findings to stimulate discussion and elicit constructive criticism from other students. Students will be graded on the contributions they make to other teams and plans during class. In addition to the independent research on the students’ own plans, there will be assigned readings to develop perspective on entrepreneurship, supplemented by real case studies. Students are required to develop and present the stages of their business plan to the class. The refined and critiqued version should be of sufficient quality to enter a business plan competition. Each student shall provide a Business Plan at the end of the semester. • Final Exam (test) comes to 60 % of final grade • Individual Business Plan that help to master theory of the course come to 30 % of final grade •Participation in class discussion comes to 10 % of final grade
