Academic Partnerships

Carnegie Mellon University
In partnership with Carnegie Mellon University’s Information Networking Institute (CMU-INI), AIT offers a Master of Science in Information Networking (MSIN), which is now a paragon for international education within Carnegie Mellon and around the world. INI and AIT have each invested significant resources to create the Athens MSIN program, which combines local and distance education to train students in cutting-edge technologies. The INI also offers executive education courses for chief information officers at its Athens campus.

Carnegie Mellon CyLab
Carnegie Mellon CyLab is a bold and visionary endeavor aimed at creating a public-private partnership to develop new technologies for measurable, available, secure, trustworthy, and sustainable computing and communications systems, and to educate individuals at all levels. CyLab is an interdisciplinary initiative involving more than 200 faculty, students, and staff from six departments within Carnegie Mellon.

CyLab is the research partner of the Information Networking Institute. Current research areas include: next-generation response and prediction technologies, resilient and self-healing networks and computing systems, secure access to physical devices and spaces, software measurement and assurance technologies and practices, data and information privacy, threat prediction modeling, and business risk analysis and economic implications.

CyLab’s faculty and research program expertise is transferred to the private and public sectors through education, training, and outreach initiatives. As a result of their educational activities, CyLab and the INI have been designated by the National Security Agency as a Center of Academic Excellence in Information Assurance Education.

AIT's PhD program in collaboration with Aalborg University in Denmark

Athens Information Technology's recent establishment of a collaborative program provides qualifying students with a strong will to perform academic research the opportunity to pursue a PhD degree with Aalborg University (AAU) in Denmark (http://en.aau.dk/).

Following a modern approach to teaching and research, Aalborg University's
key features are interdisciplinary, cooperation with the industry and internationalization, resulting in study programs that are organized around problem-oriented group work. This hands-on approach to teaching and research, emphasizing relevance, collaboration and excellence, combined with its long successful track record in collaborative research in the field of ICT, makes AAU an ideal partner for AIT in the area of PhD degrees and has made the launch of this collaboration possible.

Qualified students with a desire to pursue high-quality research in any ICT field of interest to both AIT and AAU may apply for this program. The selected applications will be judged by the Doctoral School of AAU. Once approved, the students will acquire the status of Doctoral Student at AAU and will be supervised by AAU and AIT professors.

Students that enroll successfully on this program will have to comply with all academic procedures and practices of Aalborg University, including the acquisition of required course credits for the PhD degree, but will also enjoy access to all privileges of AAU doctoral students. The added value of the program is that doctoral students will be given the opportunity to benefit from the people, lab infrastructure, services, research projects and other activities at both institutions, as well as from their joint collaboration.

All students that enroll to the program will have their progress periodically monitored by the supervising professors and will have to file the requested reports. A joint faculty committee will also oversee the overall progress of all enrolled students and will provide any further administrative or other help needed by the students in order to guarantee a smooth and efficient PhD work.

Upon successful completion of the required course credits and research work, as judged by the academic supervisors and AAU's Doctoral School, the PhD candidates will present their thesis defense before a PhD Examination Committee at Aalborg, which will decide on the awarding of the PhD degree of Aalborg University.

PhD applications for this program may be submitted to:
Mr. Iraklis Bourantas (ibour [ a_t ] ait.edu.gr) throughout.

For more information, please contact:
Ms. Didoe Prevedourou (dpre [ a_t ] ait.edu.gr) or Prof. Constantinos Papadias (papadias [ a_t ] ait.edu.gr). 
 

Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University

A series of executive programs, developed by Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government and co-organized by the Kokkalis Foundation, address the themes of negotiation, conflict management, leadership, strategic and technology management, the growing need to deepen and consolidate political and economic reforms, reinventing traditional approaches to governance and promotion of communication in Southeastern Europe and the eastern Mediterranean.
Senior executives, senior government representatives, elected officials, policymakers, leaders in the private sector and their non-profit sector counterparts benefit from these programs.
Upon completion, participants are awarded a certificate from Harvard University and become members of the Kokkalis Leadership Network (KLN), the alumni association of the Kokkalis Program at Harvard University. KLN alumni are continually updated on and informed of Kennedy School of Government and Kokkalis Program initiatives such as educational refreshers, symposia, and special events.

The Information Networking Institute
The Information Networking Institute (INI) was established by Carnegie Mellon in 1989 as the nation’s first research and education center devoted to information networking. As a cooperative endeavor of the schools of Engineering, Computer Science, Business and Public Policy, the INI’s professional degree programs represent an exceptional fusion of technologies, economics and policies of secure global communication networks. Top students from around the world attend the INI, seeking the broadened perspective and enriched skill sets necessary to design solutions, manage teams, and lead enterprises in today’s global networked information technology marketplace.
