The Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M) is a public and innovative Spanish leading university, which was recognized in 2009 as a Campus of International Excellence in Spain. Founded in 1989, it has more than 25,000 students and more than 2,000 teachers of recognized competence across diverse fields, including Humanities, Science, and Engineering. The university comprises 30 research-oriented departments, offering 38 Bachelor degrees and 152 postgraduate programs. UC3M is among the best universities in Spain and is included in the first quartile of the QS World University Rankings that highlights the best universities in the world.  

Within UC3M, the Network Technologies (NETTEC) group from the Department of Telematic Engineering is actively contributing its expertise to the CyberNEMO project. The research team involved in CyberNEMO excels particularly in connectivity orchestration for Edge/Cloud/NFV ecosystems, developing innovative models for highly dynamic NFV infrastructures, and ensuring quantum-protected communications within multi-domain cloud-native environments. Moreover, the group is a key member of 5TONIC, an NFV experimentation ecosystem comprising three Edge/Cloud/NFV domains, further reinforcing its practical and research-driven capabilities.

 Leveraging this robust foundation and deep technical expertise, UC3M plays a vital role in CyberNEMO as one of the principal technical implementers of the network component. Specifically, UC3M provides essential technical support for the development of the project’s Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) component and actively participates in the Smart Media Distribution use case.
