About us
Athena Research and Innovation Centre (Athena RC) conducts research in Information, Communication, and Computational Science and Technology, including all areas of data science (such as open data, big data, data analytics, data management, large-scale information systems, and cloud technologies), automation, robotics, signal processing, artificial intelligence, networking and digital communication, modelling, and simulation. Research and development is carried out at the level of both information technologies itself and specific applications. Computational sciences form a strong component of the Athena RC activities, including but not limited to computational linguistics, archaeology, engineering, medicine, biology, and mechanics.
Main role in the project
ATHENA leads the activities pertaining to EOSC integration, materializing its long experience on the EOSC landscape as presented in several projects and activities. The activity will be driven by the IMSI institute. ΑΤΗΕΝΑ will also lead the activities on the Atmospheric research area, with its Environmental and Networking Technologies and Applications Unit (ENTA). It will strongly support also technological foundation and delivery of core services and will largely support the outreach activities of the project in multiple dimensions: bringing services to innovation clusters, promoting results both scientifically and to the general public, mobilizing its links to several stakeholders (projects, initiatives, communities) etc.
