The first defined subject of the LTRA, dependable ICT systems, lead to the recently founded 3 TU.Centre for Dependable ICT Systems (CeDICT). The goal of CeDICT is to develop and apply methods and techniques to make dependable ICT systems a reality. Six new chairs have been created to reinforce this research.

The SRA themes are:

·	Broadband Communication Systems

·	Computer Networks

·	Multimedia and VR Systems

·	Ambient Intelligence

·

Security

·	Enterprise Information Systems

These themes are closely linked to the national and international research agenda’s. Important application areas are: care, safety/security, mobility and logistics.

To carry out the Innovation Agenda, three NIRICT Research Labs have been founded: LaQuSo, the Design Lab, and the Smart Environments Lab. All labs have facilities at the 3 locations.
