The field of Information and Communication technologies application in education covers three sectors:
- The Department of Architecture curriculum, both undergraduate and post-graduate
- The Intra-University Postgraduate courses of studies (Master) of “Information and Communication Technologies for Education” co-organized by the Department of Architecture with the partnership of the Faculty of Early Childhood Education of University of Athens, the Faculty of Communication and Mass Media Studies of University of Athens and the Faculty of the Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (UWA) University of West Attica.
- Collaboration in educational applications with laboratories and departments of the University of Thessaly.
- Development of collaboration networks in Greece and abroad.
In the field of education is included the preparation of undergraduate, postgraduate, doctoral and post-doctoral research studies in areas related to Lecad’s research orientations, aiming to the direct relation between research and education process.
Furthermore, a series of educational collective applications are being developed focusing on exploring ways of capturing the experience of the city, based on a socio-cultural approach and the creative action tradition.
The emphasis on both creativity and practice results from the acceptance of the position that experience represents a special unique quality of reality.
These applications take place within the curriculum of the Department of Architecture, in collaboration with other UTH departments or with other university departments and research centers.

Databases represent an abstract process of organising information, a potentially powerful categorisation system providing a range of options for viewing, navigating and searching. On the other hand, a database represents a logic of organising knowledge, a model of structuring our experience, thus emerging as a cultural form. The Symposium readdresses the notion of narration in the context of a multimedia database (textual, iconic, cinematic, audio).
