WHO WE ARE

We are the public university of reference in the province of Alicante. We highlight 4 research units at the service of INNDIH: 1) UNICAD - CAD/CAM/CAE research group: Dedicated to the development of advanced technologies for the design and customization of footwear, virtual prototypes, biomechanics projects, as well as tools for the protection of intellectual property of CAD/CAM/CAE applications and adaptations of machines and tools to the STEP-NC standard. 2) IUII - University Institute of Informatics Research: it is composed of more than 120 experts in different areas related to informatics. The IUII aims to be, in addition to a reference of support on information technology for small and medium enterprises and society in general, a common space for high quality researchers, with interdisciplinary training in the IT sector, with a common language where the philosophy of innovation and quality plays a central role. 3) groupM. Networks and Middleware : specialized in large infrastructures and network services. Our main areas of interest and expertise are distributed systems and computer networks, e-health, agile manufacturing or industry 4.0, smart cities (Smart City, IoT devices, LoRa networks, ...), and IT Governance. 4) AQuiA- Applied Chemical Analysis Laboratory: Our activity is focused on those areas in which the chemical characterization of a sample plays a preponderant role.
