Description
of the Southeastern Europe Telecommunications & Informatics Research
Institute (INA)
Description
of INA
Southeastern
Europe Telecommunications and Informatics Research Institute (INA) was set up in
2000 on the initiative of the Federation of Industries of Northern Greece (FING).
INA (from the Greek word for fibre - as in fibre-optics) is an organization
designed to facilitate investment in the Southeastern Europe telecom and
informatics markets by analysing regional market trends, enhancing the exchange
of technological expertise and helping to develop a regulatory framework for the
regions telecom markets.
The
incentive for the move is the huge potential of Europe's least-developed telecom
markets as the areas liberalizing and privatising post-Communist countries put
their relatively well-developed telecommunications networks on the market. As
these nations attempt to build their market economies in the age of information,
telecoms have led the way in making Greece one of the regions major foreign
investors.
INA's
activities also serve the larger effort on the part of Greece and the EU to
gradually bring the developing nations of South-eastern Europe into line with
European standards and norms and help them in any possible way catch up with the
rest of the Europe. Prospective clients of the institute include state bodies
and organizations in Greece and abroad, as well as private entities involved in
the telecom industry, universities and research institutes.
INA
is participating in a number of initiatives aiming at facilitating the
technological development and deployment of new services in the SEE region,
while maintaining close links with key actors in the telecom and informatics
markets, from the industry, the academic institutions and the policy makers. It
employs personnel with great experience in the implementation of
technology-oriented projects and contributes to the aims several projects, by
being the catalyst capable to exploit and disseminate their know-how and
results, taking advantage of its liaison with the relevant research area and
organisations in the region.
INA
employs personnel of both technological and economical background, with
experience in EU co-funded research projects. Currently INA is the coordinator
of an eTEN project, namely “e-Vital”, and is also the partner responsible
for the business plan of the project. Likewise,
INA is Workpackage leader in the IST’s TRISTAN-EAST project (regarding the
dissemination results) and it participates in the Business Plan of a recently
approved IP project.

Dr.
Pantelis Angelidis
received his diploma in Electrical Engineering and his Ph.D. in
Telecommunications Engineering from the School of Electrical Engineering,
Aristotle University of Thessaloniki in 1989 and 1993 respectively. He
participated in five EU research programmes in the areas of MRI and
Telecommunications between 1989 and 1994. Since May 2001 he holds the
position of the Director of INA. He
is responsible for EC R&D Projects (Programmes: AIM, TIDE, Health Telematics,
Ten-Telecom). He has worked as a technology expert in the areas of
Telecommunications and Biomedical Engineering for the past 12 years. He has
served as a project manager in over twenty research projects. He has presented
19 papers in international scientific conferences, he has published 8 original
articles in international research journals and over 10 in Greece. He is a
member of the permanent consulting committee of the Technical Chamber of Greece
on telecommunications, a certified consultant on telecommunications of the
Technical Chamber of Greece (Central Macedonia chapter), a certified consultant
on telecommunications of the Greek Courts (Thessaloniki), a member of eEUROPE
Smartcard Charter TB11 and a member of the CEN TC224/PT06 technical committee.
He serves as a lecturer in pre and post-graduate levels in Universities and
Technical Schools teaching Telecommunication and Information Technology courses.
CV of Dr. Christos Verikoukis
Dr.
Christos Verikoukis
got his degree in Physics and his M.Sc. in Telecommunications Engineering in the
Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (AUTh) in 1994 and 1997, respectively. He
got his PhD from the Signal Theory and Communications Department of the Universitat
Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC) in 2000, in the area of Broadband Indoor
Wireless Communications. From 1996 to 1997 he was part of the research staff of
the Radicommunications Laboratory of the AUTh and he participated in a research
project funded by the civil aviation authority of Greece. From October 1997 to
December 2000 he was research and teaching staff of the Radiocommunication
Laboratory of the UPC. He has participated in National and EC (Programmes ACTS
and IST) funded projects. In 1999 he was “Visiting Scientist” in the RAINBOW
project of the ACTS, with a grant by the European Commission. Since March 2003
he is research staff in the Southeastern Europe Telecommunications &
Informatics Research Institute. He is currently the coordinator of a
national project funded by the Greek General Secretariat for Research and
Technology and he participates in two IST projects. Dr. Verikoukis is co-author
of a chapter in the 3rd Generation Mobile Communications Systems book
and he has presented 10 papers in international conferences, most of them
supported by the IEEE. He is member of the IEEE since 1994.
