UU is the largest university of The Netherlands. In most rankings the university also takes a prominent place, being with the top universities of Europe (top 15) and the world (top 50). Almost 375 years of tradition bring stability to the university, while constantly new areas of research are explored and models
to foster cooperation between the university and industry are actively supported. The department of Information and Computing Sciences (ICS) is one of the most successful ICT departments in The Netherlands. It attracts by far the most students of all non-technical universities. The ICS department has a
leading role in research in game and media technology. Its research topics include technologies for highly effective interactive experience, environments for entertainment, simulation, and training, motions in virtual worlds, multimedia analysis, and interaction technology. The ICS department is also considered the center of agent technology research in the Netherlands. It has a large expertise in both the theoretical as well as the practical aspects of agent technology having developed logics for the verification of agent systems, developed agent platforms and languages and also applied agent technology in many different areas. The ICS department also maintains research focus in the area of software technology, and is well known for its contribution in advanced software tools, functional programming, program analysis, and software testing.

Fondazione Bruno Kessler (FBK) is a non-profit research foundation established by the Autonomous Province of Trento and inheriting the activities of Istituto Trentino di Cultura (ITC), which was based on the ideas of Bruno Kessler, a long-time member of the local government and founder of the
University of Trento. FBK operates as a private legal entity. It receives strong financial support from the province through yearly budget agreements. FBK is situated in Trentino, a province in northern Italy governed under a special autonomy statute. With more than 350 researchers, FBK conducts studies in the
areas of Information Technology, Materials and Microsystems, Italo-Germanic studies, and Religious sciences. The Center for Information and Communication Technology-IRST of FBK focuses its research activities on three research areas of computer science, which are coherent with each other and highly synergic: Artificial Intelligence, Cybersecurity, and Data Science. The research activities are geared towards maximizing impact in the areas of Health and Wellbeing, Smart cities and communities, as well as Smart digital industry. Within FBK-IRST, the Software Engineering (SE) Research Unit is part of the Smart Digital Industries high impact initiative carrying out collaborative research and has gained substantial competences and excellent scientific reputation in the areas of: (1) Requirements engineering (Goal-Oriented methodologies, requirements prioritization, requirements analysis); (2) Code analysis (reverse engineering, program transformations) and testing (test case generation, Web testing, test prioritization). In relation to the project, FBK-IRST mainly provides expertise in: 1) search-based test generation for achieving various test objectives; 2) methods and techniques for goal-oriented reasoning; 3) formal methods for verification of program behavior and planning.

Gameware has historic expertise in the the development of Artificial Life and mixed reality interactive entertainment products and 3D-AR enabling technologies, including a BAFTA nomination for the production of the CBBC #1 mixed reality game show BAMZOOKi Most recently, GW has applied its computer games knowledge to traditional industries where digital interactive expertise can deliver major opportunity. In 2016, Building Information Management (BIM) became a legal requirement in the UK. GW was appointed by Mabey Construction to deliver the cloud server infrastructure to enable sensor monitoring of construction sites to be accessed via smart devices and visualised in 3D. The resulting Mabey Livesite - ttp://sensor.mabeyhire.co.uk/Public/Home effectively connects site engineers via any smart device to the visualised data stream from sensors on Bridges, Tunnels and major building and monitoring projects across the UK. GW have also developed a photo-realistic real-time avatar technology which is an extension of their development within the RAGE H2020 project. The avatar technology supports the visualisation of human/electronic interaction for training or entertainment purposes thereby enabling effective Internet of Things/digital user engagement for any sensor based equipment.
