<p class="MsoNormal">Future Networks and Communications (FNC) research effort will help achieve a major promise of emerging technologies such as ubiquitous access to broadband, supporting vital applications in our daily lives such as health, energy consumption,
environment transport, entertainment or education. The scope of FNC is the development of energy-efficient future network infrastructures that support the convergence and interoperability of heterogeneous mobile, wired and wireless broadband network technologies
as enablers of the future Internet. This includes but is not limited to ubiquitous fast broadband access and ultra-high-speed end-to-end optical connectivity, supporting open services and innovative ambient applications. The scope also embraces novel and evolutionary
approaches to tackle network architectures, considering users and societal needs for success.<o:p></o:p></p>
