The Greek Interoperability Centre: Enabling Research in the Interoperability Domain, "G.I.C."

Interoperability has been recognized as the key issue for achieving high productivity of Enterprises (especially SME’s) and their information systems but also as the main driver for delivering effective pan-european electronic government services towards citizens and businesses.

The main goal of the proposed project is to set up all the necessary infrastructure within the Decision Support System Laboratory of the National Τechnical University of Athens, which will enable the Lab to act also as a new research centre targeting e-Government and e-Business Interoperability Research.

The Greek Interoperability Centre (G.I.C.) aims at becoming a premium research centre in the field of Interoperability in Greece, cooperating with local universities across the Greek regions but also institutions from the Balkans and the Mediterranean – thus forming a strong regional pole of research and technology.
