Leadership in Europe's digital ecosystem

IPTC aims to consolidate and expand its leadership in Europe’s digital innovation ecosystem by aligning its scientific mission with key European initiatives: Digital Decade Strategy, the 3C Network vision (Connected, Collaborative, Computing), and the European Defence Fund (EDF).

 

Technologies for a Sovereign Europe

Advanced infrastructures and intelligent systems in communications, electronics, and data science to enable technological sovereignty, security, and sustainable digital innovation.

 

Advanced Research Infrastructures

Cutting-edge facilities including radiofrequency labs, anechoic chambers, 5G/6G testbeds, big data and AI clusters, electronics lab, IoT living labs, neurotechnology platforms, and multimedia processing environments.

 

People, Our Best Investment

Through tailored training programs, international collaborations, and access to world-class research infrastructures, IPTC empowers students, researchers, and professionals to shape the future of communications, electronics, and digital sovereignty.

Who we are

INFORMATION PROCESSING AND TELECOMUNICATIONS CENTER

The Information Processing and Telecommunications Center was created by the UPM following the initiative of a number of highly competitive and recognized research groups working in the fields of Electronics, Communications, Networks, Computing and Software, with a strong vocation for multidisciplinarity and internationalization.

The Center is formed by around 180 researchers of 17 research groups with activities in the major technological areas of: Electronics and Systems, Radio and Wireless, Multimedia Technologies, Networks and Applications and Technologies for a Secure Society. These groups are organized in 2 research areas: 1) Advanced Communication Systems and Networks and 2) Data Science and Intelligent Systems. Multidisciplinary Teams are created to address large projects or challenges in the prioritary research areas.

The annual budget is higher than 8.5 M euros from competitive projects (70+ active every year) and contracts with companies (50+ active every year).

In the last 5 years, IPTC has coordinated 21 international research consortia (50 partners, 15 countries, and 40M euros) and held 55 international leadership positions in standardization bodies, research networks, scientific committees, evaluations and advisory boards. 

These numbers situate IPTC as a benchmark in international’s digital research and innovation ecosystem.
