Accelerator-based atomic physics, high resolution Auger electron spectroscopy of highly charged ions, electron scattering from highly charged ions, electron spectrometry of high-Z relativistic highly charged ions within the planned Stored Particle Atomic Research Collaboration (SPARC) at GSI-Darmstadt. The SPARC collaboration is organizing the SPARC 2015 international workshop in Fodele Crete 23-26/9/2015.

In 2011-2013 he organized the Erasmus IP CPOTS: Charged Particle Optics - Theory and Simulation, an intense two week summer school funded by the EU in Heraklion Crete.

Since 2015 he collaborates closely via the APAPES project with experimentalist Prof. Manolis Benis at the Univ. of Ioannina and theorist Prof. Alain Dubois at the Sorbonne, Paris, on measurements and dynamic calculations of three-electron systems using energetic He-like ion beams in collisions with He targets. Such (quasi) three-electron systems, while simple enough to allow for the identification of individual excitation processes and the calculation of their cross sections, are also complex enough to present a real challenge to ab initio non-perturbative theoretical approaches.

Prof. Zouros continues to be active in this collaboration even after his retirement.
