NIRICT

With this call, 4TU.NIRICT solicits applications for financial support for already running ICT research activities or new (planned) activities that could benefit from start-up funding. This support is meant for funding the non-permanent research staff or activities strengthening or enabling the ICT research projects compatible to 4TU.NIRICT goals. The funding is available to be spent in 2021 and applications can be submitted until May 1, 2021.

Three projects have already been awarded funding: The first project focuses on best practices
in gender and nationality composition in student teams. The second one supports the
participation of researchers from the underrepresented groups to the Lorentz workshop “Beyond
the Mobile-Cloud Computing Paradigm’’ and the third project celebrates the inspiring work of
women in computing.

As in previous years, 4TU.NIRICT will also be a partner of ICT.OPEN 2021, because we believe that bringing ICT in The Netherlands together is of great importance for researchers and practitioners to find each other and jointly make more impact (inter)nationally.

To gain an impression of what ICT academics consider important in their careers and open up the debate about this, ICTng (4TU.NIRICT) has developed a questionnaire that has been sent out to all universities.
The 4TU.Federation interviewed Cynthia Liem (TU Delft) about the questionnaire and other topics that are relevant for the future of ICT.

Given current COVID-19 concerns, the decision has been made to not have this Community Day taking place as a physical meeting. Instead, we will host a shorter online meeting during the same afternoon (November 5 from 13.30-15.30 h), which still will be focused on highlighting preliminary outcomes of the survey on Perceptions of Academic Leadership among the Dutch academic ICT community, and allowing for some interaction among colleagues and across institutes in breakout sessions.

On behalf of the ICT Next Generation (ICTng) network, the Netherlands Institute for Research on ICT (NIRICT), and the ICT Research Platform Nederland (IPN), we would like to invite our fellow Netherlands-based academic ICT staff colleagues to take part in a survey about perceptions of academic leadership.

In initial discussions we had on this theme, we noticed that academic leadership and professional ambitions, expectations and appreciation may be perceived differently by different academic ‘generations’. Our impression is that many of us have strong opinions about these topics, which however are not voiced sufficiently and openly within direct managerial reporting lines.

This survey allows for you to anonymously share your thoughts, while at the same time, it will allow for us to assess whether some sounds that are currently believed to be specific to individual cases actually are collectively felt.

You can access the survey at https://tudelft.fra1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_b1QDrLNylHWMvPv.

We will discuss the preliminary outcomes of this survey during an online meeting on November 5 13:30-15:30 hrs.

You also are warmly invited to join this meeting, for which you can register at: https://forms.gle/ZkovXrokUcUPRKr56

New 4TU.NIRICT Diversity-Equity-Inclusion (DEI) Fund

From June 2020, 4TU.NIRICT is launching a new ‘’Diversity-Equity-Inclusion’’ (DEI) fund to support projects that boost diversity, equity and inclusion within the 4TU.NIRICT community.

In recent months, the MT of NIRICT has been busy sharpening our vision and mission. This has led to a renewed vision and mission.

Vision: Creating a collaborative 4TU ICT community by bringing the ICT research disciplines together for a flourishing Dutch society and industry.

Mission: 4TU.NIRICT aims to address ICT challenges in the context of a connected world. We contribute to advancing ICT in engineering and technology development, to better practices in these areas, and to innovation in education in ICT. We do this for the relevant stakeholders including ICT researchers, educators, and practitioners by bringing these groups together with community building activities.

As in previous years, 4TU.NIRICT will also be a partner of ICT.OPEN 2020, because we believe that bringing ICT in The Netherlands together is of great importance for researchers and practitioners to find each other and jointly make more impact (inter)nationally.

4TU. NIRICT is a platinum sponsor of The IEEE International Workshop on Information Forensics and Security (WIFS). WIFS is a unique annual event which is technically sponsored by the IEEE Signal Processing Society. The 2019 edition of this workshop will be held in Delft, 9-12 December,The Netherlands.

Model Management and Analytics for Large Scale Systems

This book is a result of the 4TU.NIRICT Community Building and is intended for both researchers and practioners who are interested in model-based development and the analytics of large scale models, ranging from Big Data management and analytics to enterprise domains. The book can also be used in graduate courses on model development, data analytics, and data management.

Dutch Beauty and Joy of Computing can convince girls to choose for Computer Science.
