CV VASILEIOS P. KARAKASIS
Date /place of Birth: 07.06.1984/Athens, Greece
I launched my Bachelor studies in Political Science and Public Administration at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens (2002-2006). I continued with a 2-year MA in International Relations at Istanbul Bilgi University where I focused on Turkish-Greek Relations (2006-2008). After having completed my 1-year compulsory military service in Greece, I launched a MSc in Public Administration at the University of Leiden, with a focus on Crisis and Security Management (2011-2012). In September 2012, I did a research internship at Sen Foundation of Research and Education on International Cooperation. I published reports and academic articles on the energy security developments in the Eastern Mediterranean as well as other aspects of the Greek-Turkish relations, including the Cyprus conflict. This triggered the idea to start my PhD on the energy dimensions of the Cyprus conflict which has traditionally been a significant point of dispute between Greece and Turkey.
