Abstract: The Department of Music Technology and Acoustics of the Hellenic Mediterranean University offers a unique higher education program in Greece, addressing the growing demand for specialists in music technology, sound technology, and acoustics. It aims to educate specialized professionals in the rapidly advancing scientific fields of music technology and acoustics, mainly driven by the swift progress in electronic technology. The Department aims to address a gap in the professional market by producing highly skilled graduates, capable not only of keeping up with the latest scientific and technological developments but also of leading the way by introducing innovative approaches and methods. The Department combines art, science, and technology, focusing on sound recording, analysis, synthesis, and music production. Music technology encompasses various cutting-edge fields such as network music performance, artificial intelligence in music, and music embodiment. Acoustics refers to fundamental aspects of sound as well as its generation, transmission, and related phenomena. It includes research fields such as physical acoustics, optoacoustics, and vibroacoustics. This overview presents the research activities, methodologies, and results. A discussion of future research works and pointers to future technological evolution towards real-world music and acoustics applications is also provided.
