Thanos Pappas, a 23-year-old man from Kalamata, Greece, took part in FIAT’s "Design the future of accessibility" contest and won. He is currently part of a design team called "Exarsis" that undertakes vehicle design projects in Greece. In 2012, he did an internship through the Department of Product and Systems Design at the University of the Aegean, where he worked from Syros with Korres Engineering for Project D3, a city car designed for people who use wheelchairs.

Pappas is also taking part in the Hellenic Entrepreneurship Award with a hybrid (or purely electric) small vehicle which will be manufactured in Greece and is accessible to people with disabilities. Kudos to Thanos Pappas!
