The Athena Research Center welcomed with great pleasure 38 students and 4 teachers from the 1st Model Vocational High School of Xanthi, as part of an educational visit aimed at familiarizing students with the research and technological activities of the Center. The visit took place on Tuesday, November 25, 2025, at the Athena facilities in Xanthi.
The students and their teachers were received by the Head of the Xanthi unit and Research Director, Dr. Giorgos Pavlidis, who welcomed them in the auditorium and delivered a brief presentation on the Center’s work, research activities, and mission in the region.
This was followed by a tour of four activity points, where the students, divided into groups, explored different aspects of the research and technological work carried out at the Center:
-
At the Laboratory of Archaeometry and Physicochemical Measurements, students learned how advanced physicochemical methods are used to characterize materials and analyze archaeological objects, monuments, and works of art.
-
In the Digital Culture Group, they saw how technology supports the documentation, enhancement, and dissemination of cultural heritage.
-
In the Data Security, Artificial Intelligence, and Robotics Group, they were introduced to machine learning technologies, intelligent robotic systems, and data protection methods that form part of cutting-edge research.
-
In the Advanced Computing Applications Group, they became acquainted with tools and research methods involving high computational demands.
The students had the opportunity to interact with Athena’s researchers, discuss current technological developments, and observe examples of applied research in a real working environment.
In this context, the visit offered yet another opportunity to connect the school community with the world of research and technological innovation.
Staying true to the Knowledge Triangle - Research, Innovation, and Education, the Athena Research Center consistently implements and supports educational activities that promote outreach and knowledge dissemination, aiming to connect younger generations with digital technologies, computational sciences, and the possibilities offered by contemporary research. Athena remains open to initiatives that foster learning, creativity, and innovation.
We warmly thank the 1st Model Vocational High School of Xanthi for their interest and participation.
