2. FOCUS AREAS
Capabilities | Services of the Integrated Systems Laboratory (ISL)
Who we are:
The National Center for Scientific Research “Demokritos” (NCSR “Demokritos” – ) is the largest multidisciplinary research center in Greece, with a critical mass of over 900 personnel, expertise and infrastructure in the fields of Informatics and Telecommunications, Nanotechnology, Energy & Environment, Biosciences, Particle Physics and Nuclear Science.
Research activities are currently coordinated by five (5) Research Institutes:
Institute of Informatics & Telecommunications.
Institute of Biosciences & Applications.
Institute of Nuclear & Radiological Sciences & Technology, Energy & Safety.
Institute of Advanced Materials, Physicochemical Processes, Nanotechnology & Microsystems.
Institute of Nuclear & Particle Physics
The Institute of Informatics and Telecommunications (IIT - is one of the five Institutes of NCSRD, and focuses on research and development in the areas of Telecommunications, Networks, Web Technologies and Intelligent Systems. IIT has participated in numerous EU and nationally funded research projects under FP4, FP5, FP6 and FP7, and has acquired substantial experience both as partner and coordinator. With a personnel of over 250 full time researchers and over 50 PhD and MS/BS Thesis candidates, IIT has an annual turnover of 12M€ out of which les than 7,9% corresponds to public funding from the state budget.
