ExaNeSt Project Successfully Builds Prototype for Exascale
Today the whole world is trying to push supercomputer technology to the exascale level, i.e. a billion billion calculations per second. In Europe, this exascale vision will be made possible with contributions by Consortia funded by the Horizon 2020 Programme of the EU in projects such as ExaNeSt, which built a first ‘straw man’ prototype, having worked on this since 2016.
Tackling Security Challenges of Emerging Technologies
The European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA) and the Institute of Computer Science of the Foundation for Research and Technology - Hellas (FORTH) jointly organised the 6th Network and Information Security (NIS) Summer School from 16- 20 September 2019 in Heraklion, Greece.
FORTH’s presence at the 84th Thessaloniki International Exhibition
Visitors at the 84th Thessaloniki International Exhibition, from the 7th to 15thof September, had the opportunity to get acquainted with the research and achievements of FORTH at the booth of the General Secretariat for Research and Technology-Ministry of Development and Investments. In addition, on Saturday 7/9/2019, at the Ministry's event hall, the President of FORTH, Prof. Nektarios Tavernarakis gave a presentation entitled "Research and Innovation as Pillars of Regional and National Development: The Mission of the Foundation for Research and Technology". The lecture was part of the GSRT event:"The Footprint of Research in Society and Economy".
Dr. Yannis Spyropoulos, Researcher at the IMS, earned a highly competitive ERC Starting Grant.
ERC Starting Grants are awarded to early-career researchers of any nationality with two to sevenyears of experience since completion of the PhD (or equivalent degree) and a scientific track recordshowing great promise. This grant is a funding scheme that supports young talented research leaders to gain independence and build their own research team in Europe.
6TH ENISA-FORTH jointly organise the 6th Network and Information Security Summer School
The European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA) and the Institute of Computer Science of the Foundation for Research and Technology - Hellas (FORTH) jointly organise the 6th Network and Information Security (NIS'19) Summer School, which will be held between the 16th and the 20th September 2019 in Heraklion, Greece. The theme of the Summer School for this year is "Security Challenges of Emerging Technologies", referring to the security challenges and opportunities posed by new technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, new Network Infrastructures (i.e. 5G), IoT applications, Machine Learning, etc.
FORTH Researcher Panagiota Poirazi has been awarded an Einstein Visiting Fellowship to investigate neuronal mechanisms of behavioral flexibility
Dr. Panayiota Poirazi, a Research Director at the Institute of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology of FORTH, is the recipient of a prestigious Einstein Visiting Fellowship of the Einstein Foundation Berlin.
Researchers at IMBB-FORTH challenge the dogma that wants interneurons to be “simple”.
Computational modeling in the Poirazi lab (www.dendrites.gr) at IMBB-FORTH (www.imbb.forth.gr) shed new light on how Fast Spiking Basket Cells – a central subtype of GABAergic inhibitory neurons- integrate their incoming signals, taking advantage of their recently discovered dendritic non-linearities. The article, entitled: “Challenging the point neuron dogma: FS basket cells as 2-stage nonlinear integrators” authored by IMBB researchers Alexandra Tzilivaki, George Kastellakis and Panayiota Poirazi was recently published in the scientific journal Nature Communications.
Election of Director at the Institute of Petroleum Research of FORTH
Dr. Nikos Pasadakis Professor of School of Mineral Resources Engineering at Technical University of Crete was elected Director of the Institute of Petroleum Research of FORTH on August 01, 2019.
Dr. Nektarios Chrysoulakis will coordinate an international research programme on urban resilience using Earth Observation technology
The second ERC Proof of Concept Grant for the INSPIRE Group, ICS-FORTH
Associate Professor Xenofontas Dimitropoulos, Affiliated Researcher to ICS-FORTH, ERC Starting Grant holder, and his team, the INSPIRE research group, were awarded their second ERC Proof of Concept grant for the RAVEN project. The ERC Proof of Concept Grants aim to maximize the value of the excellent research already supported by ERC, by funding further work (i.e., activities which were not scheduled to be funded by the original ERC frontier research grant) in order to explore the innovation potential of ideas arising from these projects. Proof of Concept Grants are therefore on offer only to Principal Investigators whose proposals draw substantially on their ERC funded research.
