Artificial Intelligence with International Glamour in ‘Athena’ Research Center
‘Archimedes’ is the name of the new Unit of the Research Center ‘Athena’, one of the pillars of ECI, which is created under the supervision of three scientists of international glamour. As one of the powerful European research poles, the objects of ”Archimedes’ will be Artificial Intelligence, Data Science and Algorithms, all components of the 4th industrial revolution. It will serve primary and applied research (like most of the subjects of the ‘Athena’ Research Center) while it will fund young and renowned researchers in collaboration with domestic and foreign universities. Its considerable ‘dowry’ is estimated at €21m., coming from the Recovery and Resilience Fund for the next five years. The involvement of the organization “Greece 2021” and the General Secretariat for Research and Innovation, in this achievement, is noted. ‘Archimedes’ is expected to be a pole of attraction for leading Greek scientists.
The structure was announced on December 22, 2021, at a special ceremony organized by the “Greece 2021” Committee at the SNFCC. Present, and in a live public chat with the SG for Research and Innovation Athanasios Kyriazis was, among others, the Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, the President of the “Greece 2021” Committee Gianna Angelopoulou-Daskalaki, the President and Director General of EP ‘Athena’ Yannis Emiris, the Professors Konstantinos Daskalakis , Christos Papadimitriou and Markos Veremis, Head of the Innovation Department of the Hellenic Federation of Enterprises, as well as the until recently President of the Research Center, Professor Yannis Ioannidis. The new unit is credited with the top performance of the Troika Supervisor (Timos Sellis, Kostis Daskalakis, Christos Papadimitriou), which connects it directly with the largest research centers on the planet, from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, to the University of Melbourne.
