Centre for Research and Technology Hellas

The Centre for Research and Technology-Hellas (CERTH) is the only research centre in Northern Greece and one of the largest in the country and it was founded in 2000. CERTH serves the project from the position of the project coordinator and focuses on research activities concerning the development of innovation forecasting techniques on data for the purpose of implementing Technical Debt prevention measurements.

Imperial College London
Imperial College London (ICL) is one of the world’s leading research universities, typically ranked as number one in Europe for Engineering, and third in Europe in Science and Engineering. ΙCL contributes on the security by design part of the proposal and has a central role in the development of methods and toolboxes that will safeguard embedded software maintainability.
University of Macedonia
The Software Engineering Group of the University of Macedonia (UoM) focuses on software design (especially of object-oriented systems), software maintenance and quality and software evolution analysis. In the context of SDK4ED, UoM develops methods able to estimate the interest and the principal of Technical Debt, with regards to specific structural metrics, source code bad smells, and identified refactoring opportunities. 
University of Groningen

The research group Software Engineering and Architecture of the University of Groningen (RUG) is part of the Johan Bernoulli Institute for Mathematics and Computing Science. RUG is one of the key-players in the Technical Debt community. The group leader of RUG, namely Prof. Paris Avgeriou, is part of the Steering Committee of the Managing Technical Debt Workshop, which is the leading research venue on the field of Technical Debt. RUG contributes in all task that are related to Technical Debt management and in the SDK4ED software architecture, since architecting is among the key competences of the group.

Institute of Communications and Computer Systems

The Institute of Communications and Computer Systems (ICCS) is a non-profit Academic Research Body established in 1989 by the Ministry of Education in order to carry research and development activities in the fields of all diverse aspects of telecommunications and computer systems. ICCS contributes on the specification, analysis and development of the monitors, toolboxes and optimizations for the energy consumption of heterogeneous embedded systems. Through its expertise on energy optimizations it develops mechanisms to optimize energy consumption in respect with the Technical Debt management techniques.
