The unifying theme of CITIDEP research focus (on Information Technologies and Participatory Democracy) is the Information Society. Our research organization is correspondingly structured in three major groups: Support, Information, and Society related research areas. Each major group is subdivided in domain-specific Research Clusters.
Research Clusters, which may encompass different application areas, pursue a limited number of well defined research topics, by means of research activities and research / development / demonstration (RD&D) projects. Research activities are preliminary, less structured research efforts led by ad-hoc teams, that may produce project proposals. Research projects (RD&D projects) are led by formal teams and may cross-relate research topics from different Research Clusters, as long as the research project agenda (targeted problem, research questions) remains focused and consistent.
CITIDEP has, consequently, two levels of research unit organization: the Research Cluster Team (domain oriented) and the Research Project Team (both problem and domain oriented). This document describes the Research Cluster Teams and their agendas.
