Athena Research Center

The mission of Athena RC is to conduct outstanding research in Informatics and Computational Sciences and to ensure this research has an impact on society, especially regarding local needs.

Athena RC studies a broad spectrum of research issues within these fields, including some raised by other sciences, industrial applications, or societal challenges. Together with research, innovation is also a fundamental pillar of the mission of Athena RC. Research institutes, spin-off companies, and three highly-specialised clusters in knowledge-intensive thematic sectors (nano/microelectronics-based systems and applications, space technologies and applications and gaming and creative technologies and applications) create a fertile technological innovation ecosystem within the Center, with mutually beneficial collaborations between its members and systematic efforts to bring to market any research results with such potential.
