The Career-Space Consortium recognises the importance of the diversity of skills, which have arisen from the traditional electrical engineering and informatics course backgrounds. This is especially true for R&D activities in the universities. The ICT industry still needs graduates with these two diverse profiles, especially at master's level, for its own R&D activities in different ICT fields. However the quantitative need for graduates qualified in such a way is limited to less than one third of total university graduate staff in industry.
