The Helsinki Doctoral Education Network in Information and Communications Technology (HICT) is a joint initiative by Aalto University and the University of Helsinki, the two leading universities within this area in Finland. The network involves at present 55 professors and over 200 doctoral students, and the participating units graduate altogether more than 40 new doctors each year.
The activities of HICT are structured along six research area specific tracks:
- Algorithms and machine learning
- Creative technologies
- Life science informatics
- Networks, networked systems and services
- Software and service engineering and systems
- User centered information technology
The participating units of HICT have currently 20 fully funded positions available for exceptional doctoral students.
