Partner 3: Foundation for Research and Technology Hellas - FORTH
Two of FORTH’s Institites are involved in the project:
- Institute of Electronic Structure and Laser (IESL)
- Institute of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology (IMBB)
Partner Info:
FORTH is the leading research centre in Greece housing the following institutes: Institute of Electronic Structure and Laser, Institute of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology, Institute of Applied & Computational Mathematics, Institute of Computer Science, Institute of Mediterranean Studies, Institute of Chemical Engineering & High temperature chemical process, Biomedical Research Institute, and Crete University Press. FORTH has an experience in managing externally funded projects. It runs currently 51 national projects and 180 European projects with a budget of 10.7 and 51.5 Million Euro respectively. FORTH is currently the co-ordinator in 34 projects out of these 180 European projects. In addition to the current projects, FORTH has run 836 national and European projects of a total budget of around 110 Million Euro, since 1986.
Since its formation in 1983, the Institute of Electronic Structure and Laser of the Foundation for Research and Technology- Hellas (IESL-FORTH) has established its presence in the areas of Laser Science, Microelectronics, Polymer Physics, Materials Science and Environmental studies. In IESL-FORTH research activities range from fundamental studies through to applied and technological research while emphasis in scientific excellence is of prime importance.
The research conducted at the Institute of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology (IMBB) places emphasis in the elucidation of basic life processes, in the decoding of the structure and the integrated function of genes in a given organism (genomics-postgenomics) and finally in the discovery of the mechanisms that control the development and function of an organism.
