Modern digital museum environments: design, implementation, evaluation, and educational perspectives
Summary
The thesis examines how museums, particularly smaller institutions with limited resources, can adopt digital technologies to promote, manage and share their cultural collections. It investigates affordable technological solutions, the services digital museum environments can offer, principles for their design, and approaches to evaluating them.
Following a review and classification of technologies and their museum applications, the research develops design principles and tests them through the development, implementation and evaluation of digital exhibition services. These address organisations with physical collections as well as exhibitions based entirely on digital content. The thesis also explores the use of extended reality (XR) in art exhibitions, with a focus on educational perspectives.

Digital experiences centred on people.
He collaborates with the University of Patras and participates in research activities at CULTED — Cultural Technology and Educational Innovation Laboratory. His interests include artificial intelligence, human–computer interaction (HCI), digital cultural heritage, digital museums and exhibitions, digital storytelling and educational technology.
He has participated as a University of Patras researcher in CREAMS, an Erasmus+ cooperation partnership in higher education, contributing to research, educational material development, evaluation and dissemination.
Learning without borders.
He is a computer science educator and Erasmus+ Coordinator at the Agrinio Second Chance School, where he has also served as Deputy Director. He teaches digital literacy to adult learners and designs learning activities using digital tools, artificial intelligence and XR technologies.
Within the school’s Erasmus+ accreditation in adult education, 2023–2027, he plans and coordinates learner and staff mobility, training courses, job shadowing and international partnerships. His work includes preparation, evaluation, recognition of learning outcomes and dissemination of experiences.
European Proposal Development and Consortium Coordination
He contributes to the preparation and submission of European research and innovation proposals under Horizon Europe and Erasmus+. His work includes supporting project concept development, structuring work packages and tasks, defining partner roles, preparing budget and person-month allocations, drafting and revising proposal sections, and coordinating partner contributions.
He also supports consistency checks across technical and administrative parts and the final preparation of proposals for submission. Through this work, he has contributed to the submission of several Horizon Europe and Erasmus+ proposals.
