Sustainability Research and Modeling Solutions
Amaranthus
Citizens, Science and Policy for Sustainability and Well being
About us
Amaranthus is a newly founded social enterprise, founded in Athens, Greece, by a diverse group of multidisciplinary researchers in order to promote innovation, sustainability, citizen engagement and human well being through European research projects and multinational collaboration.
Our strength is creating out-of-the-box solutions by combining different disciplines. We try to connect the dots and use a systems thinking approach for disruptive and game-changing socioecological innovations that are fit for the future. We seek to change the research ecosystem from the traditional top down methodology to an inclusive bottom up approach. We bring science to the people. Our motto includes research, development and education of social innovation and modelling solutions.
Our Vision
We envision an all inclusive society where everyone gets a say.
We aspire to collaborate with local players to bring sustainable and green practices to everyone.
We dream to transform the world with regenerative practices, inclusive models and socially equitable policies.
We strive to enhance the human-nature relationship and valorize local knowledge and cultural heritage.
Projects
Our founding members are experienced in European and national projects, including Horizon 2020, Erasmus + and PRIMA projects, both as work package leaders and as coordinators. We have collaborated with over a 100 European partners, including industry, academia, public entities and NGOs. Some of our most notable current projects of our members include:
Amaranthus is proud to announce our first EU Horizon Europe research project as a partner, MItigating TRansport-related Air Pollution in Europe (MI-TRAP)! MI-TRAP has just begun its 4 year journey, stay tuned for regular updates and showcases as the project progresses and develops.

The ENHANCE initiative aims to address challenges through a One Health-based decision-support system that integrates human, animal, and environmental health into coastal management. Utilizing AI-driven analytics, remote sensing data, and citizen science, ENHANCE will provide real-time insights and predictive tools for policymakers and stakeholders.
ENFORCE project is designed to improve environmental compliance by tackling issues such as data inconsistency and insufficient coordination among stakeholders. It leverages citizen science and advanced technologies to ensure that environmental data collected at the local level adheres to the requisite standards for effective enforcement. The initiative will develop toolkits and protocols to harmonize citizen-collected data with official requirements, and it will introduce a Data Readiness Level (DRL) framework to evaluate the maturity of data for legal applications.
