ICON call 2012: is your company or organization in need of an ICT solution?

Written by IBBT on Monday 23 January 2012

Demand-driven and interdisciplinary research

The starting point of an ICON project is an ICT-related need detected by companies, governments or organizations and is typically situated within IBBT’s five apllication domains: Culture & Media, Healthy Society, Green ICT, Sustainable Mobility and Social & Secure ICT. In cooperation with the university research departments IBBT helps you to deal with this question and to find the right partners.

Who can participate?

The research partners can be of all kind. SME’s, large companies, local branches of multinationals as well as governments and social profit organizations can participate. A well-balanced consortium in which the consumer is involved as well is a prior condition for the success of the solution. In ICON projects not only the technological aspects are important, also the legal and social aspects are being studied. The final result of the two-year project is a demonstrator.

Info session

For more personalized information IBBT hosts an info session on the 14th of March 2012 (from 10h to 12h30) to support project partners with the preparations of a proposal. This info session covers all procedures and goals of ICON-projects in depth. Since the procedure has recently changed, the session might also be interesting for those who are already familiar with ICON projects.
