COMMIT unites academic research and (non-)profit organizations in ICT. Ten universities, five technological institutes, and over sixty small and large businesses participate in fifteen public-private multi-party projects. They ensure direct state-of-the-art knowledge transfer in an economic or societal urgent area.

With its ambition to contribute to the Dutch ICT innovation system, COMMIT combines theory and practice in a single group, in order to promote direct interaction. In this way, academic research and profit and non-profit organizations in ICT will establish a working relationship that maximizes knowledge transfer.

COMMIT strengthens the Dutch open ICT innovation system by establishing best-practices in public-private, high-technology and high-science research projects aiming for Dutch leadership in selected markets and societal applications.

COMMIT is housed at the Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (CWI) in Amsterdam.
