Vasilis Kostakis
My name is Vasilis Kostakis (Βασίλης Κωστάκης), 24, I come from Greece and Ι have studied business administration and information management at the University of Amsterdam (MSc) and the University of Macedonia (BSc) in Greece as well as technology governance at the Tallinn University of Technology (MA). Next academic year I will pursue a Phd at TUT.
I write mainly on two P2P blogs (En and Gr) as well as occasionally on Dutch P2P blog and French P2P blog.In parallel, I am involved in several on-line and off-line non-profit projects, all of which are filling me with energy, inspiration and hope for the future. Last but not least, I co-run an accountancy and consultancy company as well as a bureau that deals with "creative" tourism, both based in my home town in Greece.
