The education role of NMSLab is to support courses in computer networks, multimedia systems with respect to cultural applications, computer security, cryptography, information systems security, distributed systems, information theory in the undergraduate level. At the postgraduate level, similar courses are given with a research flavor focusing on new issues and challenges in the area. Undergraduate and postgraduate theses are also supported as well as preparing any relevant educational material required (e.g., notes, presentations).
Beyond the immediate research and educational role, NMSLab also aims in organizing conferences, workshops, symposia, and summer schools. Co-operation with other institutes for both research collaboration and personnel exchange is another key aim of the lab.

Buildings, Culture and Environment in a Virtual World of the Ionian Islands for Touristic Promotion.
Started in 2011 and being partially funded by European and National Greek Funds under the Regional Operational Programme ”Western Greece-Peloponnese-Ionian Islands 2007-2013 (ESPA), the Ionian Islands Virtual World is a project developed by under- and post-graduate students of the Dept. of Informatics of the Ionian University (Corfu, Greece).
The initial purpose being the touristic promotion of the Ionian Islands, it has now evolved as a platform for cultural promotion of the unique identity of the place and the people. Unique historical buildings, picturesque beaches, romantic rays of sunshine are just a few of the elements that can be seen in this virtual world.
