An important mission of iMinds is the creation of highly competent human capital in different aspects of ICT through multi-disciplinary demand-driven research. This includes all technological, legal, and social dimensions of the development and exploitation of broadband technologies and services. The objective is to make Flanders a leading and internationally recognized player in the information society of the future. iMinds is also playing a major role in future Internet research in Europe."ICT is a key enabler for a sustainable society. iMinds is committed to a holistic and multidisciplinary approach to develop ICT technologies that are energy efficient on their own and that will more generally contribute to a more efficient and green energy usage. Within the GreenTouch consortium, iMinds will focus on energy optimization in fixed and wireless networked infrastructures"
