Since 1990, Alexander Mortakis has had an active role in scientific, organizing and consultative committees of seminars and conferences held throughout Greece, by both the “Hellenic Society for Cervical Colposcopy and Pathology” and the University Gynaecological Clinics of Athens, Thessaloniki and Ioannina.

He always participates as a trainer in the hands-on sessions of colposcopy seminars, where physicians are taught surgical techniques for the treatment of malignant lesions (modified Laser cone, excision of section of the cervix with the LEEP (Loop Electrosurgical Excisional Procedure) technique.
