1st Place Award in the international emotion recognition challenge from EEG signals
A research team from the Technical University of Crete, the Hellenic Mediterranean University (HMU), and the Institute of Computer Science (ICS) of the Foundation for Research and Technology - Hellas (FORTH) won the 1st place award in an international emotion recognition challenge using electroencephalography (EEG).
A new, brain-inspired AI technology boosts efficiency and reduces energy consumption
Researchers at ΙΜΒΒ-FORTH have developed a new type of artificial neural network (ANN) that incorporates features of biological dendrites. This innovative design allows for accurate and robust image recognition while using significantly fewer parameters, paving the way for more compact and energy-efficient AI systems.
IESL Researchers combine holograms and AI to create uncrackable optical encryption system - Optical encryption approach could enhance security for digital currencies, healthcare, communications and more
As the demand for digital security grows, researchers have developed a new optical system that uses holograms to encode information, creating a level of encryption that traditional methods cannot penetrate. This advance could pave the way for more secure communication channels, helping to protect sensitive data.

ERC funds scientists to map Galaxy in 3D: Torsten Enßlin (Max Planck Inst. for Astrophysics), Philipp Mertsch (RWΤΗ Aachen University) & Vasiliki Pavlidou (Inst. of Astrophysics-FORTH), have been awarded a highly competitive European Research Council Synergy Grant) aiming to create the first three-dimensional, comprehensive atlas of our Milky Way galaxy.
FORTH attracts new funding from the European Research Council
Two ERC Starting Grants totaling approximately 3 million euros, were awarded to Dr. Anna Sydorenko and Dr. Konstantina Kalfa, post-doctoral researchers at the Institute for Mediterranean Studies of the Foundation for Research and Technology-Hellas (FORTH).
International scientific collaboration reveals how intermittent fasting regulates ageing through autophagy
Recent research at the Institute of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology (IMBB) of the Foundation for Research and Technology-Hellas (FORTH), at the Paris Cité University, and at the University of Graz, published today in the premier international science periodical Nature Cell Biology, sheds light on the mechanism through which spermidine regulates autophagy, a process that ensures the recycling of components within the cell, to promote the anti-ageing effects of intermittent fasting.
