Profile
Eurescom, the European Institute for Research and
Strategic Studies in Telecommunications GmbH, is the leading private
organisation for collaborative R&D in European telecommunications. For its

Major European telecommunication network operators founded Eurescom in 1991 as a platform for collaborative R&D in order to combine resources and create synergies. Among the members of Eurescom are Deutsche Telekom, France Telecom, and BT.
Eurescom can look back on a series of outstanding results, which had a major impact on Europe‘s telecommunications landscape. Eurescom made, for example, major contributions to the introduction of interoperable European ISDN, the design of today‘s network management systems, specifications in the Internet domain, and the development of new services and applications for mobile and fixed networks.
Currently, Eurescom is involved in a number of European
and global research initiatives, which have contributed to making
communications technologies more effective and more user-friendly. Eurescom
works as the secretariat for EUREKA Cluster Programme CELTIC, the Wireless
World Research Forum (WWRF), and the Networked and Electronic Media
Initiative (NEM). As a project partner, Eurescom participates in European
projects, which research new media technologies (TA2), advanced home
networking technologies (OMEGA), and federated testbeds for Future Internet
technologies (PII). Beyond that, Eurescom has also an instrumental role in
advancing the Future Internet via the European Future Internet Initiative (EFII).
