Sponsored Research

As it has been already mentioned NTUA undertakes with increasing frequency scientific and research projects financed by the Directorates of the European Commission, the General Secretariat of Research and Technology, Ministries, Public Corporations, Prefectures, Municipalities and the private sector from Greece and abroad. Sponsored research is being carried out on topics and with specifications provided or approved by an external sponsor. A recent survey on the number of research projects sponsored by the European Commission classifies NTUA in the second place among all European Universities and in the fourth place among all European organizations, including private enterprises. The management and the accounting of the sponsored research is undertaken, according to the greek law, by an administrative body, the Special Account for Research, which is regulated by the Research Committee, consisted of 9 representatives from each one of the 9 Schools, and chaired by the Vice Rector for Financial Planning and Development.
