The Foundation for Research and Technology-Hellas (FORTH), established in 1983, is one of the largest research centres in Greece with state-of-the-art research facilities, highly qualified academic personnel and a reputation as a top-level research foundation worldwide. It is ranked 1st in the Greek Research Centres both for the quality of researcher evaluated by international expert committees under the General Secretariat of Research & Innovation in Greece and for the successful participation in various European and International projects. The Foundation, with headquarters in Heraklion, includes eight Research Institutes in different parts of the country: (i) Institute of Electronic Structure and Laser (IESL); (ii) Institute of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology (IMBB); (iii) Institute of Computer Science (ICS); (iv) Institute of Applied and Computational Mathematics (IACM); (v) Institute for Mediterranean Studies (IMS); (vi) Institute of Chemical Engineering Sciences (ICE-HT); vii) Institute of Astrophysics (IA); (viii) Institute of Petroleum Research (IP)
FORTH’s activities are complemented by Crete University Press (CUP), the Skinakas Observatory, the Science and Technology Park of Crete (STEP-C) and PRAXI/HELP- FORWARD Network. The research and technological directions of FORTH focus on areas of major scientific, social, and economic interest, such as: Microelectronics, Lasers, Materials, Molecular Biology and Genetics, Biotechnology, Computer Sciences, Bioinformatics, Robotics, Telecommunications, Computational Mathematics, Chemical Engineering, Human and Social Sciences, Cultural Studies, Astronomy and Astropjhysics.
