Partners
- FORTH will be the partner responsible for conducting extensive research on additional innovative technical features of ARTEMIS. FORTH will study techniques and mechanisms that allow the system to automatically collect information from the local -distributed- network infrastructure, such as the routing and configuration tables of the local routers. And at the same time, explore techniques that will allow the system to change the settings of the local network infrastructure in order to deal with attacks in real time.
- Cytech will be the partner responsible for the development of the system's mobile application, which will provide real-time notification mechanisms and can be run on mobile phones with Android and iOS operating systems.
- Enartia will be responsible for developing a new cloud hosting service that will allow system users to access from anywhere on the Internet without having to worry about security or performance issues.
- The PRAXI Network, due to its experience and know-how in relevant actions, will be responsible for the continuous evaluation of research results to identify timely innovative elements worthy of protection (patent) and to protect them before publication (scientific or otherwise), in order to make the best use of the produced innovation in the project execution context.
FORTH
The Foundation for Research and Technology - Hellas (FORTH) is one of the largest research centers in Greece with well-organized facilities, highly qualified personnel and a reputation as a top-level research institution worldwide. FORTH conducts specialized scientific research in strategic high-added-value sectors, focusing on interdisciplinary research and development (R&D) activities in areas of major scientific, societal and economic interest, such as Lasers and Photonics, Microelectronics, Advanced Materials/Nanotechnology, Molecular Biology and Genetics, Biotechnology, Computer Science, Bioinformatics, Precision Medicine, Systems Biology, Robotics, Telecommunications, Applied and Computational Mathematics, Chemical Engineering Sciences, Energy, Environment, Human and Social Sciences, Astrophysics and Astronomy.
FORTH was founded in 1983 with the vision of creating and maintaining an environment conducive to Learning, Research and Innovation, as pillars of Regional, National and European socio-economic development and progress. It is supervised by the General Secretariat for Research and Technology (GSRT) of the Ministry of Education, Research and Religions.
FORTH comprises 8 Research Institutes. The Institute of Computer Science (ICS) is one of the eight research institutes of FORTH. FORTH-ICS plays a leading role in the development of the Information Society at a national and international level by conducting basic and applied research in the wider field of Informatics and Computer Engineering. Its main features are the research excellence, the interdisciplinary approach and the continuous effort to transfer the research results and the technologies it develops in the industry and the wider society.
ICS-FORTH is organized in laboratories active in the following sectors: Telecommunications and Networks, Signal Processing, Computational Medicine, Bioinformatics, Computer Vision and Robotics, Computer Architecture and VLSI Systems, Distributed Computing Systems and Cybersecurity, Information Systems, Human-Computer Interaction, Universal Access and Assistive Technologies.
PRAXI Network
PRAXI Network is an established technology transfer organization with long-standing experience in assisting SMEs and research organisations throughout Greece to achieve cross-border technological cooperation. It is a distinct administrative unit operating within the Foundation for Research and Technology – Hellas (FORTH), the most active research organisation of Greece. It started out in 1991 as a partnership between FORTH and SEV Hellenic Federation of Enterprises with the mission to link industry with academia. This strategic alliance of the research and industrial world of Greece was reinforced four years later, when the Federation of Industries of Northern Greece (FING) joined the partnership.
Between 1995 and 2008, PRAXI Network was nominated by the European Commission as one of Europe’s Innovation Relay Centers (IRC) acting therefore as one of the main Greek stakeholders in the field of technological innovation and cross-border technological cooperation. In parallel and since 1999, the General Secretariat for Research & Technology in Greece appoints PRAXI Network as the National Contact Point (NCP) for the 5th, 6th and 7th Framework Programmes for Research and Technological Development and currently Horizon 2020, rendering it an official entity for information and advisory support for EU-funded research programmes.
Since 2008, PRAXI Network provides innovation and technology transfer services, initially as a member and currently as coordinator of the Greek consortium of the Enterprise Europe Network, the largest network of integrated business support to Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs).
Cytech
Cytech has been active since 2001 in the field of software product development for telecommunications companies in Greece and abroad.
