Cooperations

Cooperation Protocols

Within the framework of the Internship program, the Digital Systems Department signs Cooperation Protocols with companies that have a significant presence in the broader field of Digital Systems (Informatics, Telecommunications, Embedded Systems, etc.).

With a Cooperation Protocol, the two parties seek to jointly explore the intended learning outcomes that are expected to emerge from each student’s internship at the company. The intended learning outcomes must be relevant to the subjects of the MSc course, to the projects and activities of the company, as well as the goals and interests of the intern.

Students are not obligated to choose an Internship in any of these companies, although the Department considers such a choice to be wise. Additionally, the collaboration protocols encourage postgraduate students to seek employment in the collaborating institutions.

Below is a list of companies with which the Department has already signed a Cooperation Protocol.

• Netcompany-Intrasoft
• Polytech SA
• Pragma Iot SA
• Validata
• Centaur
• ΟΤΕ SA (in collaboration with the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering of the University of Thessaly)
• Socialinnov
• Cisco Academy
• Threenitas
