GRIGORIS ZAROTIADIS CONTINUED... Grigoris: At Thessaloniki, we host the chapter of the SDSN for the whole Black Sea region. This brings me precisely to the other aspect of our discussion that Greek academia, and I would say Hellenism as a whole, can play an essential role in regional and interregional collaboration for future socioeconomic and environmentally sustainable development. This is because we have something that we need to understand, to anticipate, and to utilize in a much stronger way. We have recognition from the rest of the international community because of our heritage and because we are living, growing, and functioning in an area of the world that contributed a lot during the past centuries. This recognition gives us a possibility to contribute to the discussion and to function as an important factor that strengthens international collaboration towards the realization of socioeconomic and environmental sustainability.

“WHAT IS THE METAVERSE?” WITH COSTANTINO ROSELLI FOUNDER AND CHIEF METAVERSE OFFICER NETIZENS (NTZNS) George Sifkakis: What is the metaverse? We all have an idea of meta and the metaverse and what we think it is, but what is the metaverse, why is it inevitable, and why do we need it? Costantino Roselli: This is the million-dollar question because everybody has a different answer. The reason that they have different answers is that they see the metaverse as a tool. But the metaverse is not a platform or tool; it is an idea. The metaverse is an attitude, a revolution. You can compare it with the industrial revolution. So when we have the metaverse revolution, it is coming to destroy the perfect that the industrial revolution brought and enable the impossible. Why is this happening, and why is it inevitable? After the millennium, on the first year's eve, the world was not destroyed, and the apocalypse never happened. However, three events that followed in the 20 years after that changed humanity's goals. The major events were global warming and climate change, the recession, which was the first time we realized the financial system we have is not stable, and the pandemic, which was the first time that we saw that we are still vulnerable to natural causes. It's not something we only faced a hundred years ago. At the same time, we've had a technological evolution, three things coming together, which is the Web2, a miracle of the world because it was the first time that we could ask a question to millions of people and have an answer back, which makes us all media. The second is blockchain. If Web2 Two makes us media, blockchain will make us the bank, and that comes with great responsibility because that is the true freedom of the people. The third was the influencers and the rise of creators because it was the first time that people didn't need any permission. They didn't need someone to pick them up. The microphone and the stage, it's all there, and if they want to broadcast, they can do it. CATALYZE MAGAZINE | 15
