Who is NFC Research?
The NFC Research Lab in Hagenberg is part of the Research Center Hagenberg at the Upper Austria University of Applied Sciences. It was founded in 2005 focusing on new NFC use cases, hardware implementations and security aspects. In 2006, Austria's first NFC Trial was launched in Hagenberg providing a variety of services never implemented in a trial before. After that time the NFC Research Lab came up with payment and ticketing services, an own reference hardware, several publications, and the organization of the annual Austrian NFC Congress (since 2007). In order to ensure customers and industrial relevance of the research results, project partners, such as mobilkom austria and NXP, brought in practical experience from users point of view. In 2009, the 1st International Workshop on Near Field Communication (NFC'09) took place as part of the NFC Congress in Hagenberg. In 2010, the NFC Research Lab organized the 2nd International Workshop on Near Field Communication (NFC 2010) as part of the WIMA in Monaco.
