ICTI Research

ICTI and the Carnegie Mellon-Portugal Program will involve professors, researchers and students from six colleges, eight departments, and six research centers and institutes at Carnegie Mellon and a large consortia of Portuguese research and education institutions, including 12 higher education institutions, four associate laboratories, one applied research institute and two governmental agencies.

The ICTI research component focuses on scientific areas, including information processing and networks, critical infrastructure and risk assessment, applied mathematics and technology, innovation and policy. A robust industrial affiliate program includes the membership of Portugal Telecom, the main telecommunications operator in Portugal; Nokia Siemens Networks; and Novabase. Other major national and multinational companies and a number of technology-based firms, including Critical Software, a leading Portuguese software company, are committed to help define the program strategy and direction.
