About IACM

The Institute of Applied and Computational Mathematics (IACM) of FORTH was founded in 1985. Its mission is to conduct basic and applied research in the general area of Applied and Computational Mathematics. It has good computing facilities and a wide range of research activities, a large part of which is funded by competitive research grants. Through its research programs the Institute has developed many collaborative projects and relations with other research groups in Universities, Research Centers and Organizations in Greece and abroad. The successful research activity of IACM is documented by the quality and number of research publications of its members, by the number of international scientific meetings and conferences they have organized, and the excellent results of its two past evaluations by the General Secretariat of Research and Technology.

Current problems in science and technology are of such size and complexity that their solution requires wide and in depth application of the modern techniques of applied and computational mathematics and the increasing participation of mathematicians in the interdisciplinary teams of scientists that tackle them. In many scientific areas high, state-of-the-art technologies are gradually becoming mathematical technologies and computational experiments are replacing conventional experiments. All these factors are potentially favourable for further development and growth of IACM.

The Director of IACM from 1985 to 2003 was Prof. John S. Papadakis. Since 2004, its Director is Prof. Vassilios A. Dougalis.
