Within the scope of its thematic programme on information and communication technologies (“ICTs”) created in 2007, the WWTF aims to promote scientific projects and science chairs that contribute to improving ITCs directly rather than applying ICTs to other disciplines.
Projects may involve either information technologies or communication technologies or both. The projects should aim at studying substantial scientific issues tangential to ICTs which offer the prospect of medium-term utilisation and exploitation.
