Περίληψη
1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION: This thesis intends to present the complex management process of the Greek research centers focusing on the Foundation for Research and Technology - Hellas (FORTH), situated in Heraklion, Crete. In this evolving era where technological advancements and global collaboration increase this thesis seeks to unravel how FORTH's organizational structure and leadership strategies are effectively leading a research institution to success. 2. OBJECTIVES: The primary objective of this research is to analyze the management practices employed by FORTH and evaluate their effectiveness in fostering innovation, collaboration, and sustained research excellence. By focusing on the intricacies of research center management, this thesis aims to contribute valuable knowledge to academic discourse and serve as a practical guide for policymakers, administrators, and researchers involved in the administration of similar foundations. Eventually, the study aspires to enhance the overall efficiency and impact of Greek research centers and, by extension, benefit the broader scientific community. In addition to the comprehensive analysis of FORTH's management practices, this research endeavors to broaden its scope through a benchmarking exercise by comparing FORTH's strategies with those of a comparable European research center. 3. METHODOLOGY: This research will combine qualitative and quantitative methodologies for its findings with a mixed-methods approach. This research will combine qualitative and quantitative methodologies for its findings, with a mixed-methods approach. It will involve an in-depth examination of FORTH's organizational structure, administrative mechanisms, and decision-making processes through interviews with key stakeholders, analysis of archival documents, and a questionnaire survey. The methodology will draw upon relevant bibliography in management theory and public administration to create the research framework. Specific research questions include the assessment of the effectiveness of current management practices, the identification of key challenges, and suggested recommendations for improvement. 4. EXPECTED RESULTS: Expected outcomes include an understanding of FORTH's management practices, highlighting both its successful strategies and areas for improvement. The findings will offer insights into the broader implications of the management of this research center. These results aim to inform policymakers, administrators, and stakeholders, facilitating evidence-based decision-making. Furthermore, the study intends to pave the way for tailored management guidelines and policy recommendations, fostering the sustainable development of Greek research centers and enhancing their international competitiveness.
