Our Computer Science students visit the Centre for Research & Technology – Hellas (CERTH)

On 3 December 2018 our undergraduate Computer Science students had the opportunity to visit the Centre for Research & Technology – Hellas (CERTH), one of the leading research centres in Greece and listed among the TOP-20 E.U. research institutions with the highest participation in competitive research grants.

Students were warmly welcomed by Mr. Nikos Katsiadakis, Project Manager for CERTH who talked to them about the research centre, its mission and achievements. Also, Dr. Votis Konstantinos, Researcher Grade C' & Director of Visual Analytics Lab at CERTH/ITI offered insight on the Information Technologies Institute and its activities. During the presentation students had the opportunity to ask questions and find out more about the pioneering research centre located in Thessaloniki.

The group of students was accompanied by Mr Vassilis Tsoulis, Director of the Career, Employability and Enterprise Centre of the International Faculty CITY College.

Company visits are an important component of the student experience at the International Faculty. Aiming at enhancing our students’ employability skills, regular company visits are incorporated in each semester’s activities giving students the opportunity to get first hand information about the industry out of the classroom. Students are exposed to different business cultures, working environments and contemporary business practices and can be better prepared to start thinking of their own career path.
