Information and Communication Technologies (ICT)

ICT covers scientific and technical research in all areas of information and communication science and technologies.

The ICT research area is best summarised as treating the processing, transmission, storage, retrieval, management, usage, and exchange of information and knowledge, with emphasis on fundamental aspects and pre-competitive technology development.

New ideas and initiatives are welcome as well those with high interdisciplinary elements and close links and overlaps with other domains.
