SMART ENGINEERING & MANAGEMENT SOLUTIONS ANONYMI ETAIREIA

Their core work

SEEMS S.A. is a Greek engineering and management consultancy based in Alexandroupolis that provides technical and project management support across diverse R&D domains. They contribute engineering solutions to EU research consortia spanning particle physics instrumentation and vehicular cybersecurity. Their work ranges from supporting detector and sensor technologies in fundamental physics experiments to developing cybersecurity frameworks for connected and autonomous vehicles. The company acts as a bridge between scientific research communities and applied engineering needs.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

SEEMS began its H2020 activity in 2019 with a focus on particle physics spin-offs, including detector technologies and muon radiography applications for geology and volcanology (INTENSE). By 2019-2022, they pivoted significantly into digital security, taking on their largest funded role in vehicular cybersecurity with machine learning and blockchain (nIoVe). Their most recent project (PROBES, 2022) returns to fundamental physics but with expanded scope into gravitational wave detection and dark matter, suggesting they maintain dual tracks in both applied digital security and physics instrumentation.

SEEMS appears to be growing its cybersecurity and IoT security capabilities while maintaining physics research connections — expect future proposals in security-critical sensor systems or critical infrastructure protection.

How they like to work

SEEMS operates exclusively as a consortium participant, never leading projects. With 67 unique partners across 19 countries from just three projects, they work in large international consortia and are comfortable joining diverse, multi-disciplinary teams. Their participation in both MSCA-RISE staff exchanges and Innovation Action projects suggests flexibility — they can contribute to knowledge-exchange networks as well as technology development consortia.

Despite only three projects, SEEMS has built connections with 67 unique partners across 19 countries, reflecting the large consortium sizes typical of MSCA-RISE and Innovation Actions. Their geographic reach spans well beyond Greece into a broad European and international network.

What sets them apart

SEEMS occupies an unusual niche as a Greek SME that bridges fundamental physics research and applied cybersecurity — two domains rarely combined in one organization. Their location in Alexandroupolis (northeastern Greece) positions them as an R&D-active company in a region underrepresented in EU research, which can be valuable for proposals requiring geographic diversity. Their willingness to contribute across very different technical domains suggests adaptable engineering capabilities rather than narrow specialization.

Highlights from their portfolio

• nIoVe
  Their largest project by far (EUR 203K, 73% of total funding), focused on the emerging and commercially relevant field of cybersecurity for autonomous vehicles.
• INTENSE
  Demonstrates an unusual combination of particle physics with practical spin-offs in muon radiography for geology, volcanology, and natural hazard monitoring.
