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)
