The Program places particular emphasis on the student's contact with research and on active participation in research activity in key areas of Computer Science, which are of significant theoretical and applied interest. This participation mainly takes place during the preparation of the student's Master's Thesis, which often leads to a publication in a scientific conference or journal. Of course, the student's contact with research begins earlier, both with the "Research Methodology" Seminar and with the student's own initiative.
As a rule, the thesis is prepared under the
supervision of a faculty member of the Department of Informatics of AUEB, but
also with active collaboration with the student, within the framework of one of
the research groups or the research laboratories of the Department, which
always aim at the cutting edge of theoretical research and technological
developments.
