University of the Aegean

The University of the Aegean, founded in 1984, is a Greek public university dispersed across six islands in the Aegean Archipelago. While not primarily a space-focused organization, the university contributes to the space industry through its research in marine remote sensing using satellite and UAV data, participation in CubeSat missions like ERMIS in collaboration with the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens and ESA, and related studies in geography and applied geoinformatics. Key departments involved include the Department of Marine Sciences and the Department of Information and Communication Systems Engineering.
