Research, Development and Creativity in Ubiquitous Technologies in University

Abstract

In 2009 the University of Santiago de Compostela (USC) proposes the creation of a truly transdisciplinary research platform, suitable for the development of integral projects of excellence in R&D, technology transfer and professional training in all phases of the digital contents evolution cycle: CIDUS Platform for Innovation and Experimentation and Innovation in Digital Contents (www.usc.es/es/Servizos/cidus). Although this chapter covers some of the finest CIDUS exponents in the field of ubiquitous technologies, we need to emphasize that we believe that the main innovation of CIDUS is not only its innovative projects but also the very experience of interdisciplinarycollaborationbetweeneighty-onereferenceresearchers in the field of digital content (assigned to seven groups with such a pure technological base as a social communication profile), respectively located in Faculty of Communication Sciences, Singular Research Centre in Information Technologies, Technical School of Engineering and Institute of Technological Research at USC.
