However, these figures may also be misleading due to the ongoing evolution in broadband technologies. Continue reading ‘Broadband penetration - Is Austria lagging behind?’
One of the foremost tasks of the CITT project is to assess the ICT related research and technology landscape of the Centrope region. In order to achieve this aim we would like to get comprehensive information about the activities of the companies, universities and research institutions involved in R&D in the area of ICT.
Detailed information help us to approach the narrow segments of companies and research organizations that match for a certain research issue.
Thus, we would greatly appreciate your support in compiling data about your activities. Please participate in the survey and fill in the online questionnaire:
Survey for institutions
Survey for companies
For further information regarding the survey please visit the CITT webportal.
