Education and lifelong learning are the dominant factors in our ability to compete in the global economy 

Intellectual capital drives economic prosperity. Machines were the chief capital asset in the Industrial Age. Workers, mostly low - skilled, were plentiful and exchangeable. In the Information Age, precisely the opposite is true. The key competitive asset now is human capital and it cannot be separated from the knowledge workers who possess it. 

The primary mission of Athens Information Technology (AIT) is to become a Center of Excellence for Research and Graduate Education in Information and Communication Technologies and to enrich human capital. 

We are collaborating very closely with the Information Networking Institute, INI, of Carnegie Mellon University and jointly we are offering an intensive 16 month Master of Science program of studies to talented University graduates and working engineers. 

We are looking far out on the horizon to see what kind of graduate education should be offered in order to keep Europe, Greece and the Intracom Group of companies at the forefront of the competitive knowledge driven global economy.
