About
The Museum of Informatics and Telecommunications (MI&T) of the University of Athens was founded in the Fall of 2019 and is currently under construction.
The Museum is located on the ground floor, below the Reading Room, of the Department of Informatics and Telecommunications, in a space of approximately 140 sq.m. structured in to 4 distinct areas:
- an Entrance – reception area
- Room 1 (“History” room)
- Room 2 (Main Museum area)
- Room 3 (exhibit storage room)
Functional and aesthetic interventions (suspended ceilings, colors, etc.) are being planned to create the necessary infrastructure for its operation and to give it a unique identity. The goal is for the MI&T to become:
- a permanent, contemporary exhibition space, based on modern museum practices, that will bring the public creatively, both through space exhibitions and digitally, into the world of computational thinking.
- a living lab adopting an open-innovation methodology wherein members of the University community participate horizontally in an innovation process to co-create exhibits and projects.
