AMDC aims to optimally manage AUA assets. The Agricultural University owns ornamental plant green-houses, the Kopaida farm (consisting of 100 hectares of experimental annual plants) and the Spata farm. This farm includes a 20 hectare vineyard and winery (part of its product is used in winemaking, while the rest is sold to independent producers) as well as an olive grove.
The AMDC-AUA operates as an S.A. company and has vast experience in financial and accounting management. AMDC also supports AUA research labs. The AMDC administrative council is made up of professors with great experience in scientific projects.

“ Exploitation of new natural microbial flora from Greek origin amenable for the production of high-quality wines ”
The Asset Management & Development Company of the Agricultural University of Athens (AMDC-AUA) participates in the research project Oenovation, and more specifically in research units 1 and 5.

- Action 1.1: Isolation of new yeast strains.
Deliverables:
- 1.1: A record of yeast strain collection including, among other data, geographic coordinates, vine variety, part of vine plant sampled and sampling dates.
Research Unit 5 is also divided into two main actions: one concerning large-scale vinification, and one concerning the research of market trends.
Deliverables:
- 5.1.1: the product of large-scale vinification
- 5.1.2: report files
- 5.1.3: Results of product marketing
- 5.2.1: Results and analysis of questionnaires
