This year CITY College is going to organise two online talks by Dr Aristea Ladas, Assistant Professor at our Psychology Department and Elina Ketikidi, Communication and Digital Manager at our research centre, the South East European Research Center (SEERC) and PhD Candidate at Sheffield University Management School. The Science of Sleeping and Dreaming: A foggy field Tuesday 14 June 2022 15:00-16:00 (EEST) Speaker: Dr Aristea Ladas Assistant Professor, Psychology Department CITY College, University of York Europe Campus Overview: Why do we sleep? Why do we dream? What are dreams? Can they be controlled? Questions that all of us have certainly asked ourselves during our lifetime. Questions that different science fields have tried to address. Questions that still remain largely unanswered. Join neuroscientist Aristea Ladas for fascinating insights into the mystery of sleep and dreaming. Learn about brain activity during sleeping and dreaming, discover how this activity influences our life while awake, and have your say as we try to pin-point the differences between dreaming and awake states. Explore the phenomenon of dreaming from a psychoanalytic and from a cognitive-neuroscientific perspective, and find out how dreaming connects to consciousness. Join the event Sustainable Fashion and Social Media Marketing Tuesday 21 June 2022 15:00-16:00 (EEST) Speaker: Elina Ketikidi Communication and Digital Manager at South East European Research Center (SEERC) PhD Candidate at Sheffield University Management School Overview: The fashion industry is said to be the second biggest global polluter after the oil industry. For example, it takes almost 8,000 gallons of water - the amount that a single person drinks in seven years - to make one pair of jeans. When those jeans are discarded, they - and tons more textiles - end up in landfills. Sustainable fashion brands want to reduce the impact on the environment - but how can these brands best reach their audiences? Join digital marketing expert Elina Ketikidi to find out how social media can be used to educate consumers about the importance of sustainability in fashion and sustainable living more generally.

Open Seminar Day in Skopje
CITY College, University of York Europe Campus invites you to "Skopje Open Seminar Day" Wednesday, 18 May 2022 11.00 – 15.00 PUBLIC ROOM Str. 50 Divizija, 22 1000 Skopje Speakers: Mr Chris Liasidis, Associate Professor at CITY College, University of York Europe Campus, Business Administration and Economics Department Mr Vassilis Chatzibirros, Assistant Professor, Academic Director of Undergraduate Programmes at CITY College, University of York Europe Campus, Psychology Department Dr Dimitris Dranidis, Associate Professor, Head of Computer Science Department Seminar participants will receive a Certificate of Attendance. Agenda: 11.00 – 12.00 “Primary and Selective Demand Marketing Strategies for Sustainable Growth” by Chris Liasidis Seminar Overview In contemporary times, businesses need to devise strategies to sustain and grow in the market they serve. This seminar sheds light on strategies that corporations adopt in their effort to grow, sell more, and continue with their sustainability tactics. Primary and selective demand strategies provide the means to achieve such an attempt. 12.30 – 13.30 “Resilience in times of crisis: How to utilise social and psychological resources” by Dr Vassilis Chatzibirros Seminar Overview "Resilience is usually defined as the ability to withstand adversity and crises in life and recover from these difficulties. However, we each respond to stress and adversity differently, like the stress from the COVID-19 pandemic. The seminar will focus on why we respond differently to stress and crises as well as the psychological and social factors that help us build and strengthen resilience". 14.00 – 15.00 “Agile Software Development Methods: How to manage constant and rapid change in IT projects” by Dr Dimitris Dranidis Seminar Overview Although in the past, heavyweight methodologies, such as the Waterfall model, were considered as the industry standard software development process for IT projects, the situation has changed, and in the last decade, most of the software development companies have adopted more agile software development methodologies. This change happened partially in response to business globalisation and the rapidly changing business environment and business needs, and partially in response to the fast evolving IT technologies, both of which require agile and adaptable processes in order to deal with changes. The seminar will highlight some of the key features of these agile methods, such as SCRUM and Extreme Programming. In the frame of the Open Seminar Day, participants will have the opportunity to meet Mr. Gregory Dikaios, Director of Recruitment, to learn more about the undergraduate and postgraduate programmes offered at CITY College, University of York Europe Campus in Thessaloniki, Greece that lead to Bachelors and Masters degrees awarded by the University of York.

11th Strategic People Management Workshop
'I want you, but won't see you: E-Onboarding and how to set new hires up for success from Day 1' The 11th Strategic People Management Workshop at CITY College, University of York Europe Campus took place on Wednesday 13 April 2022. This in-person event centred on e-onboarding was opened by Prof. Leslie Szamosi, Director of the Pan-European Executive MBA and Professor of Human Resource Management & Organizational Behaviour, who welcomed the audience and introduced the structure of the event. Next, Dr Giovanni Oscar Serafini, Assistant Professor in Human Resource Management & Organisational Behaviour, presented an overview of onboarding, highlighting its benefits and challenges, before discussing e-onboarding characteristics and highlighting key steps for its successful application. The core contribution to the workshop was delivered by Ms Lorena Furtuna, Senior HR Manager, ORACLE, who shared online amazing insights on her first-hand experience with e-onboarding practices application. Ms Furtuna stressed that e-onboarding requires the creation of a virtual organisational socialisation space that fosters the confidence of new hires in their own role, by enabling the acquisition of knowledge, skills, and behaviours. Thus, e-onboarding is instrumental in one of the most delicate and important HRM tasks: the transition of new hires from being ‘outsiders’ to becoming effective organisational members and ‘insiders'. The floor was then opened to Executive MBA students of CITY College for a multifaceted discussion leading, among others, to the following main conclusions: (1) There are multiple benefits of having a structured e-onboarding. Its unifying effect leads to acclimating new hires to the organization and its culture, creating connections, and understanding their role, with the ultimate benefit of making new employees feel welcome, appreciated, and respected. (2) Effective e-onboarding boosts the motivation of new hires, thus making them willing to stay. (3) An imperative for e-onboarding is to convey to new hires the need for compliance, involving awareness of basic legal and policy-related rules. The event was also enriched by the presence of Prof Alexandros Psychogios, Professor in International Human Resource Management at Birmingham City Business School (UK) who remarked that, while onboarding is a complex process under any circumstances, remote work has rendered e-onboarding even more of a challenge. Given that human nature fundamentally craves in-person interactions to build solid, trustworthy relationships, Prof Psychogios pointed out that the post-pandemic workplace will see a gradual return to conventional face-to-face onboarding practices. The event took place in the context of the Annual Study Week of our Pan-European Executive MBA programme and was attended by Executive MBA students from all 8 countries where the programme runs.
