The Research Center was established in 1983. It aims at providing the institutional framework which would facilitate and, to some extent, support the research carried out by Faculty members, in the general fields of economics, management and computing with an emphasis on the study of the Greek economy and the Greek society in general.
Research at the Center is carried out mainly by members of the academic staff of the University. Visiting scholars and short-term appointees may also engage in research activities. All research is undertaken with a view towards eventual publication in scholarly journals, discussion papers and monographs.

Administration and Finance

The Research Center is a non-profit organisation governed by an executive board formed exclusively by Faculty members of the University. One of the Vice-Rectors is appointed by the Senate as its Chairman, while each Department appoints two members to the Board.
The research activities of the Center are funded in two main ways: First, through various grants from the government, the University and other public and private institutions. Second, through the accumulated fee that the Center collects from the various researches and training projects for its management and administration services.
The Center accepts funds on the understanding that the sponsors or donors will not interfere in the development or the outcome of the research they finance.

Seminars, Research Workshops and Conferences

Regular training and executive seminars are organised by the Center with the objective of upgrading the education of unemployed university graduates and of those employed in both the public and private sectors of the Greek economy. Currently, most of the Center?s seminars are subsidised by the European Social Fund (ESF).
A regular workshop, attended by teaching and research faculty and invited specialists from universities, government agencies, international organisations and private industry, is held at the Center. At this workshop, progress reports of research projects under way, as well as completed research work, are presented and discussed.
In addition, the Center assists the University in providing organisational support for national and international conferences. Nearly 20 conferences have been organised in the last decade. Example of such events organised by the Center, include Annual Conferences of the International Institute of Public Finance and of the European Marketing Academy, as well as a World Congress of the International Economic Association.

Facilities

The Research Center is located at 46, Kefallinias Street and includes two lecture rooms, two teaching microcomputer laboratories and offices for secretaries and research staff. There is a number of terminals connected with the University's main computer system, a large number of PCs, some of them equipped with Intel 80286 and 80386 processors and three units equipped with Motorola 68020 processors.
