Archimedes Unit of the Athena Research Center welcomes ECDC members
Archimedes Unit of the Athena Research Center, along with representatives of the Center, welcomed the Union of Economic and Commercial Advisors of Foreign Embassies in Greece (Club of Economic and Commercial Diplomats - ECDC). ECDC is an important tool of economic diplomacy in which 60 Trade & Economic Counselors of foreign embassies participate. The meeting was co-organized by Entreprise Greece, the official national body for attracting foreign investments and promoting exports abroad, supervised by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The purpose of the meeting was to inform ECDC members about the activities of the Archimedes Unit in the fields of artificial intelligence, data science, and algorithms, as hubs of the new Greek economy that are of great interest to foreign diplomats. The goal is to create a conducive environment for collaborations with academic institutions and research centers from their respective countries, through a central entity that facilitates the dissemination of the vision and research of Archimedes and the Athena Research Center. The presentation was delivered by the Director of the Archimedes Unit, Timos Sellis, followed by a discussion on collaboration and the potential opening of the Unit to researchers and students from abroad.
