Elections for the Managing Committee of the Greek Computer Society take place every two years by secret voting at the General Assembly of the members and it comprises of five members.  The Society aims at promoting the use of ICT and contributing to the development of scientific research and education in the ICT sector as well as representing and supporting the ICT professionals of the region in Greece and abroad and providing customised technical assistance to private and public authorities.

The International Faculty is rather extrovert and highly involved in local and national organizations and associations, a practice that is inherent in the Faculty’s philosophy to liaise the academia with the industry and contribute the society overall.

We wish all the best to our staff members in their newly acquired role and hope that they will serve it in the best possible way.
