ICTng is a network of assistant and associate professors exchanging experiences and ideas, defining common interests, working on common roadmaps on ICT research and education in The Netherlands, and jointly influencing the national and international ICT agenda. The importance of creating these multidisciplinary liaisons lies in the conviction that in order to keep making impact, also in the decades to come, the field has to know how to find each other and actively work together.

Our network was initiated by 4TU.NIRICT and COMMIT, participants come from the VU, UVA, Radboud University, Utrecht University, TU Delft, UTwente and TU Eindhoven, which makes it a very diverse group covering more than half of all Dutch universities. We regularly organizes offline and online meetings and get-together for our members.During ICT.Open 2017, ICTng presented a first public statement in response to the five point plan from IPN to IPN chairmen Maarten van Steen. In general we support the plan from IPN but we emphasize that the next generation should be taken front and center when further developing this plan. This event also signaled the launch of our new website and LinkedIn-community. In the next period we will expand our network and work towards more common statements from all assistant and associate professors in our network.

The event is free of charge. There will be networking drinks to close the day.

On behalf of the whole ICTng core team we hope to see you in Utrecht!
