The National Technical University of Athens (NTUA) has been founded in 1836, only a few years after Greece became an independent state. It is the oldest and most prestigious educational institution of Greece in the field of technology, and has contributed unceasingly to the country's scientific, technical and economic development, and social progress.

NTUA is divided into nine academic Schools, eight being for the engineering sciences (Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Architecture, Chemical Engineering, Rural and Surveying Engineering, Mining Engineering and Metallurgy, Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering), and one for Applied Mathematical and Physical Science. The 9 faculties comprise 33 Departments. The total number of NTUA employees is about 1350 (including more than 700 academic staff, 140 scientific assistants and 260 administrative and technical staff). The total number of undergraduate students is about 8500 and the graduate students 1500.

The scientific staff in the Schools, together with post-graduate researchers, apart from their teaching and related educational activities, conduct research work assisted by post-graduate students and a considerable number of external collaborators; the amount and the high standards of this research are proved by the numerous publications in International Scientific Journals and Proceedings of International Conferences as well as by the prominent place of NTUA among all Europeans Universities, due to the increasing number of research projects financed by the EU and other Greek and foreign organizations of the public and the private sector.

Most NTUA schools are located in the Zografou Campus (9 Iroon Politechneiou str, 15780 Zografou). The School of Architecture is based on the Patission Complex, the historical buildings of NTUA original location, in the centre of Athens (42 Patission str., 10682, Athens), where IE13 will be hosted.
