The i3 community brings together design, technology and people in a creative cross-cultural context. Together, they develop visions of what ordinary users will need and demand in the next decade, and design technology and demonstrators to meet those needs.
The i3 concept of long-term visionary research is now deemed a success which inspires much of the 5th Framework Programme.
i3 membership offers a unique environment to exchange ideas with the ongoing 25 ESPRIT Long Term Research / Future and Emerging Technologies projects, and to strengthen contacts to industry, research organisations, design institutes and end-user organisations.
Your i3 profile will be actively promoted to existing and new industrial project partners and business development partners of i3net using the web, publicity material and promotion visits to industry.
The i3 community is run by the members for the members.
