CIRP

CIRP utilizes a range of methodologies that span multiple disciplines to effect unbroken coherence between fundamental and applied research and practical ICT interventions at the individual and community levels. Its problem spaces are limited to those which have the potential for progressive human capital returns through operational gains in the short term; as well as strategic gains in the long term. CIRP research foci include wireless and marine communications; telecommunications policy and regulation; knowledge and information science; human learning; and science and innovation for development. Interventions focus on integrated, context-appropriate mobile and web application suites in support of livelihoods, personal safety and empowerment. At this time, the small scale fisheries sector is the focal point for CIRP action research.
