ABOUT THE LABORATORY

Research with a practical point of view.

An academic environment where ideas move from theory to working systems.

Founded in 2022, the Next Generation Digital Systems Applications Laboratory is part of the Department of Digital Systems at the University of Thessaly. Its undergraduate and postgraduate community supports research, academic projects, thesis work, technical education, and participation in student competitions.

Our activity spans communication networks, cybersecurity, the Internet of Things, robotics, cyber-physical systems, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and interactive digital applications.

We connect academic depth with the discipline of building, testing, documenting, and demonstrating real systems.
