Research Programs

Research is an important pillar of the scientific and technological development of the State General Laboratory (SGL).
The SGL has developed an international network of cooperation and has signed collaboration protocols with Institutes, Universities and Organizations such as the EU Joint Research Centre (JRC), the Austrian Environment Agency, the University of Cyprus, the University of Greece etc. Bilateral cooperations have also been developed for the exchange of information, expertise and the implementation of research programs with other European laboratories.

Basic aims:

The research is funded through the EU as well as national funds mainly from the National Research Promotion Foundation and the Ministry of Health.
