To position Greece as a leading player in AI and Data Science
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, the AI and Data Science Research Hub at ATHENA Research Center, was thrilled to be part of the 2024 Athens Science Festival (ASF). With over 15,000 visitors and 8,000 students, the festival provided the opportunity for young and old, schools and families, and hundreds of visitors to explore science through fun, innovative, and interactive ways.

The Archimedes Research Unit on Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, and Algorithms proudly organized the Workshop on the Foundations of Modern AI at the National Technical University of Athens, Greece, on July 3-4, 2024. This prestigious event gathered leading experts and researchers from diverse fields such as Statistical and Computational Learning Theory, Optimization, Algorithmic Game Theory, and Approximation and Online Algorithms.
The appointed new Deputy Minister for Development, Ms. Zoe Rapti, visited on Thursday, July 4, 2024, the Athena Research Center in Athens. The President of Athena, Professor Ioannis Emiris, and Directors and Representatives of the Institutes and Units of Athena received Deputy Minister Zoe Rapti at the entrance of the General Secretariat of Research and Technology. Some of the facilities available at Athena were shown to her, and she briefly interacted with some researchers and staff.
The British Heart Foundation (BHF) has awarded £4 million to support world-class cardiovascular research at The University of Manchester over the next five years, with the university matching this funding to bring the total investment to £8 million. Archimedes is proud to announce that one of our lead researchers, Professor Sophia Ananiadou of Manchester University, is co-leading this transformative project.
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.
