IMDEA Networks Institute is a networking research institute whose multinational team is engaged in cutting-edge fundamental science. As a growing, English-speaking institute located in Madrid, Spain, IMDEA Networks offers a unique opportunity for pioneering scientists to develop their ideas. IMDEA Networks is establishing itself internationally at the forefront in the “development of future network technologies and has already incorporated highly-reputed scientists (see our research team here - http://www.networks.imdea.org/people). Our researchers share the potential to shape the future of networking science over the coming years.
Further information regarding our areas of research can be found here - http://www.networks.imdea.org/research/research-areas.
We bring together a large number of scientists performing research in fields very closely related to computer networks, to an extent that is unique in Europe. At the Institute, and teamed up with University Carlos III of Madrid (UC3M) - http://www.uc3m.es/portal/page/portal/home, researchers understand each other, are driven by common interests and are therefore able to collaborate in depth on leading-edge technical challenges.
