RESIT
 

RESIT, Research and Education Society in Information Technology, is a not-for-profit corporation founded by the INTRACOM group of companies, in Winter 2001. 



RESIT’s mission is to: 
  • Support graduate education of very high standard, thus contributing to the development of highly specialized academics and professionals, while being an autonomous and self-funded corporation;
  • Advance and promote basic and industrial research in the fields of Information Technology and Telecommunications, in the national and international arenas.

RESIT has appointed an Advisory Council to provide guidance and assistance in its research and education activities. 

RESIT established the AIT-Athens Information Technology laboratory of liberal studies as a first means to meet its educational and research goals. AIT offers a Master of Science in Information Networking (MSIN) in collaboration with the Information Networking Institute (INI) of the Carnegie Mellon University (Carnegie Mellon). RESIT plans to extend its collaboration with Carnegie Mellon in selected research fields. The collaboration of RESIT with Carnegie Mellon is a first step, others will follow. 

RESIT provides all on site infrastructure and services needed to operate the Master’s Program, including, but not limited to, state-of the art classrooms and amphitheaters fully equipped with top quality audiovisual equipment, fully equipped research laboratories, computer and network facilities to support the courses, and all administrative and support services. RESIT and/or its members provide fellowships (in the form of tuition coverage and textbooks) to all students who get admitted to the MSIN Program.
