  • Experiencies: the papers should be mainly focus on the experiences; TICAL is a space to share successes and failures among peers. No merely scientific or academic papers are intended.
  • Projects or services: works should describe implemented services or executed projects.
  • ICT area: TICAL gathers universities ICT managers. That is why it is intended that the papers are relevant for them.
