3TU.NIRICT

Netherlands Institute for Research on ICT

NIRICT … to facilitate Dutch ICT scientific excellence and impact

NIRICT bundles ICT research of the three technical universities

in NL (79 chairs, 1200 scientists)

in one virtual institute Eindhoven

Twente

Delft

- to create critical mass around a number of strategic areas

- to have impact by focusing on a limited number of ICT topics and ICT applications

- to be preferred partner in ICT research and innovation

- to influence the shape of the national and EU ICT research and innovation agenda

ICT Applications

Centered on the user and personalized

Centre for Dependable ICT Systems

• To develop a design methodology and application toolkits that bring modeling, analysis, synthesis and verification for dependable large-scale ICT-systems within reach of every system engineer

• 18 chairs (incl. 6 new 3TU.CeDICT chairs)

Innovation Agenda

• LaQuSo: ‘The’ expertise and research centre for verification and validation of software systems

• Design Lab: Provide a design platform to allow (small) companies to make a design for heterogeneous systems (sensors, intelligent signal processing components, low power radio)

• Smart Environments Lab: Techniques for ambient intelligence and multi-modal interaction can only be assessed in a realistic environment

- Your partner in research and innovation with clear focus and massto do things together that you cannot do alone

Added Value for You

- Jointly defining research agenda’s and to enlarge the ICT research community

- One single contact point, portal function for scientific developments

- Clear financial and IPR agreements

- Source for qualified personnel

- Integrated solutions (not single discipline)
