VIRTUALDiver aims at mass development and dissemination of "experiential" activities in coastal and submarine environments through the creation of a Comprehensive Digital Interaction Platform, to be developed by TETRAGON and Steficon, the two companies that own significant experience in the field. The project output differentiates from the products created by competition, internationally, focusing on underwater environment and innovative technologies for single coastal capture and mainly in the marine space, enhancing experiences through the geological interpretation of the volcanic engraved by the research team of NKUA in collaboration with up2metric.
The Faculty of Geology and Geoenvironment leading this research project, is a part of the School of Sciences of the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens. It is the oldest Faculty in the country where aspects of earth sciences have been taught and at present, it is also the biggest. Today, the Faculty comprises six departments covering a broad range of earth science subjects, aiming to prepare students for careers in environmental science, natural hazard assessment and mitigation, geotechnical engineering, exploration and exploitation of mineral and energy resources etc., and promote geoscientific research leading to academic careers in universities, research institutes and museums.
