Our Partners
The Information Technologies Institute (ITI) is one of the leading Institutions of Greece in the fields of Informatics, Telematics and Telecommunications, with long experience in numerous European and national R&D projects. It is active in a large number of application sectors (energy, buildings and construction, health, manufacturing, robotics, (cyber)security, transport, smart cities, space, agri-food, marine and blue growth, water, etc.) and technology areas such as data and visual analytics, data mining, machine and deep learning, virtual and augmented reality, image processing, computer and cognitive vision, human computer interaction, IoT and communication technologies, navigation technologies, cloud and computing technologies, distributed ledger technologies (blockchain), (semantic) interoperability, system integration, mobile and web applications, hardware design and development, smart grid technologies and solutions and social media analysis.
In HAMLET project, CERTH leads the design of the architecture working within the Human-Centred Enabler Design work package (WP1) and also provides two of the three horizontal enablers and creates the integration agent in the framework of the Horizontal Enablers’ Development work package 2. Moreover, CERTH leads the integration and pilot preparation work package where it integrates the work of all partners into a single system and also provides the data lake house to store the data. CERTH is also responsible for monitoring the pilots and assessing the KPI achievement. Lastly, CERTH leads the project coordination and management work packages) trying to create cross-disciplinary interactions between all partners and cultivate a culture of collaboration that focuses on synergies that lead to well-rounded and sound solutions. CERTH will also provide advice on the gender dimension, based on their experience with numerous similar projects and tasks.
