Mission & Vision
Seeking our research outcomes to make tangible contributions to our societies, research priorities at ΙCCS will pave the way to a more resilient, green, sustainable and secure future that places citizenship at its center. Research at ICCS pursues its vision responding present-day needs, opening up new networks for action, building synergies and working together with industry to offer a world-class research environment for critical inquiry and scholarly exchange.
Technical expertise and knowledge accumulated over the years has often been translated into innovation. The ICCS’s Technology Transfer office (TTO) was founded in 2022 with an aim to efficiently integrate research results into innovation processes that aim at generating real value to the society and economy. ICCS actively supports the creation of startups and participates in successful spinoffs such as CIBOS and PhOS.
Scientific research at ICCS is organized within many cross-cutting thematic research areas such as AI and Smart Systems, Hardware and Software, Computer networks, Mobile Communications, Control and Automation, Power Production, Transport and Distribution, Energy, Transport, Climate, Biomedical and Biomechanics, Information Systems, Management and Decision Support, Photonics. At the ICCS, we conduct interdisciplinary computing research that is advancing scientific discovery and driving engineering innovation.
A History of Academic Excellence
ICCS was founded in 1989 as an independent, non profit research organisation to support the values, mission, strategic goals, and priorities of the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA). Throughout its long history, it reflects the University’s commitment to excellence in scholarship, promotes the integration of research and teaching, and has significantly contributed to the country’s scientific output in computational science and engineering.
