Dr. George Tserpes holds a position of Research Director in the Hellenic Centre for Marine Research (HCMR). He holds a BSc degree in Biology from the University of Patras, Greece (1981), an MSc degree in Marine Biology from the University of Wales, UK (1983) and a Ph.D degree in Applied Biology from the University of Crete, Greece (1996). His main research interests refer to the Biology, Ecology and Dynamics of fish populations. He has coordinated/participated in more than 60 National and International projects and has authored/coauthored more than 180 scientific publications in peer-reviewed journals, book chapters and conference proceedings. He has participated in several International Scientific Groups including the Scientific, Technical and Economic committee for Fisheries (STECF) of EU and various STECF Sub-committees. Currently, he is the international coordinator of the Mediterranean International Trawl Survey (MEDITS) and since 2003 he coordinates the Mediterranean Swordfish Working Group of the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT). Since 2019 is also coordinating the Working Group on Stock Assessment of Demersal Species (WGSAD) of the General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM). He teaches in the post-graduate program “Environmental Biology” of the Biology department of the University of Crete and has co-supervised 20 MSc and PhD theses.
