Ioannina Biomedical
Research Institute


The Biomedical Research Institute (BRI) was founded in 1998. It was operating as an autonomous institute until 2001, under the name "Ioannina Biomedical Research Institute" (IBRI).
From September 2001, the Institute was merged with the "Foundation for Research and Technology-Hellas" (FORTH), and its new name is "Foundation for Research and Technology-Hellas / Biomedical Research Institute". This merger offers new possibilities to the Institute, since FORTH is one of the most prominent foundations for research and technology in Greece, with an international reputation.
BRI has three research directions: Molecular Medicine, Biomedical Technology, and Molecular Epidemiology.
In order to fulfill the above research aims the Institute has already established collaborations with the Medical School of the University of Ioannina, as well as with other Departments of the University, the University Hospital, and the other Institutes of FORTH.

Institute of Transportation
& Telecommunications


The University of Ioannina has become allied with the regional local authorities and industrial partners to establish a major Institute of Transportation & Telecommunication in Igoumenitsa. The Institute brings together academic and industrial expertise in an effort to find solutions to transportation and telecommunication difficulties that are perceived to be among the most intractable in the area. The expertise in different fields of transportation and telecommunication will be concentrated in research, consultancy and regional development.
