Research through NTUA's State Resources

In addition to sponsored research, academic research at NTUA is carried out using the means which the University, through state funding, provides to its academic staff free of charge, on topics which are freely chosen by the faculty members, within the scientific areas of their Schools or Departments. Such means include use of the laboratories, the computing facilities, the modern library system and the technologically advanced integrated voice and data communication network, assistance by technicians, secretaries and other auxiliary personnel, consumables and printing facilities.

NTUA has been already transformed into a new kind of distinguished "Research Technical University" and is on the way of establishing itself as a "Technology Resources Center". The variety of topics of the research projects is really wide and underlines the ability of the University to not only conduct basic research but to also get directly involved with the problems of the society, which can be treated by applied and/or technological research and/or provision of specialized technological services. It should be emphasized, as well, that the multiple use of the University research facilities (basic research, applied and technological research, development and provision of specialized services) is both very cost-effective and beneficial for the students of the Technical University.
