To position Greece as a leading player in AI and Data Science
Mission
To build an AI Excellence Hub in Greece where the international research community can connect, groundbreaking ideas can thrive, and the next generation of scientists emerges, shaping a brighter future for Greece and the world
Welcome to ARCHIMEDES, a vibrant research hub connecting the global AI and Data Science research community fostering groundbreaking research in Greece and beyond. Its dedicated core team, comprising lead researchers, affiliated researchers, Post-Docs, PhDs and interns, is committed to advancing basic and applied research in Artificial Intelligence and its supporting disciplines, including Algorithms, Statistics, Learning Theory, and Game Theory organized around 6 core research areas. By collaborating with Greek and Foreign Universities and Research Institutes, ARCHIMEDES disseminates its research findings fostering knowledge exchange and providing enriching opportunities for students. Leveraging AI to address real-world challenges, ARCHIMEDES promotes innovation within the Greek ecosystem and extends its societal impact. Established in January 2022, as a research unit of the Athena Research Center with support from the Committee Greece 2021, ARCHIMEDES is funded for its first four years by the EU Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF).
“ARCHIMEDES” comprises a vibrant community of senior researchers from Greece and abroad, early career researchers (postdocs), PhD students as well as postgraduate and undergraduate students working in various thematic research areas.
ARCHIMEDES will train a new generation of Greek scientists. It will organize systematic training and educational programs, will build bridges of systematic communication with important institutions abroad and will offer an opportunity to participate in high quality research to talented young scientists, thus dramatically accelerating their scientific development and offering them a promising career path
ARCHIMEDES will serve both basic and applied research and will relate to Greek, but also foreign University academic institutions and research centers. It hosts visiting researchers (faculty members and researchers) and funds PhD candidates and postdocs in the areas of Artificial Intelligence, Data Science and Algorithms.
is a research hub focusing on Artificial Intelligence, Data Science and Algorithms. It was founded in 2022 and is supported for its first four years of operation by the the NextGenerationEU Fund - Greece 2.0 initiative. Through “ARCHIMEDES” Greece is expected to be at the forefront of science, in a field of knowledge whose importance is constantly increasing and now has multifaceted applications across the spectrum of economy, society, industry, etc.

ARCHIMEDES 2023 Summer Program – What an exciting two months we had!
19 October 2023
ARCHIMEDES ran a summer program with visiting researchers and seminars/talks in June and July 2023. This served as an opportunity for the new ARCHIMEDES PhD fellows to introduce themselves to our researchers and vice versa the ARCHIMEDES researchers had an opportunity to introduce themselves to each other as well as to the visitors, colleagues from other ATHENA institutes etc. More than 45 junior and senior researchers participated in the program, which included ARCHIMEDES researchers’ and visiting researchers’ presentations workshops on Life Sciences, Computer Vision, Natural Language Processing and Responsible Artificial Intelligence. You can follow the above links to browse through the various presentations given.
The project “ARCHIMEDES Unit: Research in Artificial Intelligence, Data Science and Algorithms” with code OPS 5154714 is implemented by the National Recovery and Resilience Plan “Greece 2.0” and is funded by the European Union – NextGenerationEU.
