ABSTRACT
In 2009 the University of Santiago de Compostela (USC) proposes the creation of a truly transdisciplinary
research platform, suitable for the development of integral projects of excellence in R&D, technology
transfer and professional training in all phases of the digital contents evolution cycle: CIDUS Platform
for Innovation and Experimentation and Innovation in Digital Contents (www.usc.es/es/Servizos/cidus).
Although this chapter covers some of the inest CIDUS exponents in the ield of ubiquitous technologies,
we need to emphasize that we believe that the main innovation of CIDUS is not only its innovative projects
but also the very experience of interdisciplinarycollaborationbetweeneighty-onereferenceresearchers
in the ield of digital content (assigned to seven groups with such a pure technological base as a social
communication proile), respectively located in Faculty of Communication Sciences, Singular Research
Centre in Information Technologies, Technical School of Engineering and Institute of Technological
Research at USC.
