Profile of the IEEE SSCS Greece Chapter

The SSCS Greece Chapter has provided a plethora of activities during its first year of operation: seven lectures by engineers from the industry, one workshop, one career event, and one Distinguished Lecture (DL). All of the activities were very useful and well attended. The audience of the lectures was mainly from the University of Patras (faculty and students), while that of the Distinguished Lecture was from nearby companies. The University hosted all the Chapter events, except the Distinguished Lecture, which was hosted by the Patras Science Park, the local incubator of hightech startups. The Chapter is grateful for the cooperation of the University and the Science Park for hosting these events. It is worth pointing out that the Chapter has helped bridge the gap between academia and industry by providing a bi-directional link for the flow of knowledge.
