On Tuesday, November 25, 2025, the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (AUTH) team presented the research results of the SEAWave project to the public in the DIAS hall of the Mediterranean Palace Hotel. Members of the Radio Communications Laboratory of the Department of Physics, AUTH—who played an active role in the international consortium—outlined both the overall achievements of SEAWave and the specific contributions of the AUTH team. During the workshop, the audience was introduced to:
-
The objectives and the overall methodology of the SEAWave project
-
The use of artificial intelligence and innovative tools, such as mobile apps, to assess exposure to radiation from mobile phone base stations,
-
Emerging wireless network technologies in the workplace,
-
New techniques for calculating the absorption of 5G millimeter wave radiation by the skin,
-
The biological effects of 5G millimeter wave radiation on cells, experimental animals, and humans, based on studies conducted within the SEAWave project,
-
Innovative technological solutions resulting from the research process and their broader impact.
In addition, the SEAWave Project group showcased the measurement and monitoring equipment used for estimating exposure to electromagnetic fields, giving attendees a hands-on look at the tools behind the research. Prof. Theodoros Samaras, Director of the EMMETRON-AUTH team and SEAWave Coordinator, joined the event remotely. He presented the findings on the biological effects of 5G millimeter-wave radiation, discussing experimental results from cellular, animal, and human studies conducted within the project.
The workshop offered a unique opportunity for the public to engage directly with the SEAWave research team, explore cutting-edge methodologies, and gain a deeper understanding of the effects of modern wireless technologies. The team was thrilled by the lively discussions and the enthusiastic response from attendees, reinforcing the importance of bridging scientific research with the wider community.
