A new initiative of President Kanellis, building on the tradition of olive cultivation at the School and its place in the academic and practical training aspects of education at all levels, is the Perrotis College Krinos Olive Center, established in 2013 to address the needs and promote the success of the olive and olive oil production sector in Greece.

The director is Dr. Athanasios Gertsis, author of multi-year research projects in the high density cultivation of olives and the innovative use of olive by-products. Dr. Gertsis sees the Krinos Olive Center as an opportunity to “apply an holistic approach to olive oil production” that includes evaluating the carbon footprint of the olive life cycle and informing the consumer accordingly. The Krinos Olive Center aims to establish an accredited tasting laboratory for Greek olive oil, and to provide physicochemical analyses as well as consulting services in entrepreneurship and export marketing to Greek producers.

A letter of cooperation with the Olive Center at the University of California at Davis has been signed for joint full spectrum research and teaching, from cultivation to processing, marketing and by-product applications, for the benefit of Greek and U.S. olive oil producers and consumers. As advance promotion of the Perrotis College Krinos Olive Center, the Association of Friends of AFS has organized several public events in Athens and Thessaloniki, including one that features the directors of both centers, Dr. Gertsis and UC Davis’ Mr. Dan Flynn.
