The Institute of Accelerating Systems and Applications, IASA (Greece)
The Institute of Accelerating Systems and Applications (IASA) was founded in 1994 in order to promote research and postgraduate studies in the Greek University system. It is affiliated with six university departments: Medicine, Physics and Informatics of the University of Athens and Electrical and Computer Engineering, Chemical Engineering and General Science of the National Technical University of Athens. IASA is the largest research institute operating under the auspices of the Ministry of Education (Greece). It has assembled significant teams of faculty members from the university departments along with post-doctoral associates and PhD students. The research program varies from Basic Physics to Medicine. In the research area, IASA acts as a task leader for the User Community Technical Services offered by the EGI-InSPIRE project. Further, IASA is responsible for the development and provision of two EGI global services: the EGI Applications Database (AppDB) and the EGI-Inspire Software Repository. The EGI AppDB is an international fully-fledged community driven web service meant to act as a point-of-reference for scientific applications and tools available within the EGI infrastructure, which also provides a registry of scientists involved in the development of the software. In Go-Lab, IASA is involved in the Go-Lab federation of online labs (WP2), Community Building and Support (WP6) and in the Implementation (WP7). The IASA team will offer access to scientific data from the ATLAS detector as well as to a series of interactive applications (HYPATIA) that will be integrated in the classroom practice. |
