University of Western Macedonia Leads Innovative Pilot to Revolutionize Agri-Water Management in Greece

The University of Western Macedonia (UOWM), a dedicated partner of the UNIVERSWATER project, is pioneering transformative research to create practical and sustainable solutions to drive economic, social, and cultural development. Through the Telecommunication Networks and Advanced Services (TELNAS) research laboratory, UOWM collaborates closely with project partners to integrate advanced IoT systems and earth observation technologies with cutting-edge artificial intelligence.

TELNAS is committed to developing robust, explainable AI-driven mechanisms, leveraging comprehensive field trials and predictive analytics. Their holistic approach carefully considers socio-economic and environmental impacts to ensure innovations provide tangible benefits to local communities and the agricultural sector.

UOWM is particularly proud to spearhead the Greek pilot case in the Prespa region. This initiative focuses on optimizing pesticide and fertilization application strategies, directly contributing to safeguarding water quality and enhancing agricultural sustainability.

“We are delighted and proud to be part of this forward-thinking initiative,” said a UOWM representative. “Our integrated approach in UNIVERSWATER is set to deliver smarter, resilient solutions that ensure sustainable water management and a prosperous future for agriculture.“
