The Department of Environmental Sciences, Informatics and Statistics
(DAIS) has been established in January 2011 as a result of the
amalgamation of the former Departments of Environmental Sciences,
Computer Science, and Statistics - a merger motivated by the desire to
mazimize the interaction among three disciplines that constitute key
research drivers for the scientific and societal development of the
future. The Department's academic and research staff are committed
to work towards common research goals, leveraging the research
strength in their areas of expertise to provide innovative solutions
for the analysis and management of the information and the environmental
systems underpinning a sustainable development of our society and
the preservation of its cultural heritage.

The Department brings together world-leading research groups contributing
their expertise to research and teaching, at all levels. In particular,
the Computer Science Laboratory has long been actively involved in research
on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition, Data-Intensive and SCalable
Information Systems, Dependable Systems and Software Security,
Formal Methods and Applications, Multimedia Information and Interaction Design.
