2017 a Atual	INCT-Cyber: Instituto Nacional de CIência e Tecnologia para uma Sociedade Massivamente Conectada A missão do Instituto Nacional de Ciência e Tecnologia para uma Sociedade Massivamente Conectada: Uma Abordagem Ciberfı́sica e Social (INCT-Cyber) é entender e desenvolver princı́pios cientı́ficos e tecnologias necessárias para as interações futuras entre seres humanos, computadores e o mundo fı́sico. Os princı́pios que norteiam o INCT-MCS são: (1) desenvolver sistemas e tecnologias necessárias para construir sistemas ciberfı́sicos complexos que as pessoas possam usar com grande confiança; (2) acelerar a implantação de sistemas ciberfı́sicos e sociais em uma sociedade massivamente conectada através do desenvolvimento de métodos, ferramentas e componentes de software e hardware baseados em princı́pios transversais, validados por meio protótipos e cenários de teste; (3) transferir os resultados cientı́ficos e tecnológicos alcançados para a indústria. Integrantes: Virgilio Augusto Fernandes Almeida (coordenador), Wagner Meira Junior, Nivio Ziviani, José Marcos da Silva Nogueira, Humberto Torres Marques Neto, Altigran Soares da Silva, Alberto Henrique Frade Laender, Antonio Alfredo Ferreira Loureiro, Geraldo Robson Mateus, Mario Fernando Montenegro Campos.
2016 a Atual	EUBRA - BIGSEA - Europe Brazil Collaboration of Big Data Scientific Research through Cloud-Centric Applications EUBRA-BigSea aims at providing an abstract framework for the development of distributed Big Data applications. Multiple data models will be supported (e.g. data streams, multidimensional data, etc.) and efficient mechanisms will ensure privacy and security, on top of a QoS-aware layer for the smart and rapid provisioning of resources in a cloud-based environment Integrantes: Wagner Meira Junior (coordenador), Dorgival Olavo Guedes Neto, Humberto Torres Marques Neto, Renato Antonio Celso Ferreira, Jussara Marques de Almeida, Adriano Cesar Machado Pereira, Gisele Lobo Pappa, Clodoveu Augusto Davis Jr., Adriano Alonso Veloso, Loic Cerf, Ana Paula C Silva, Italo Cunha.
2015 a Atual	MASWEB - Modelos, Algoritmos e Sistemas para a Web O objetivo do projeto é desenvolver modelos, algoritmos e novas tecnologias que permitam aumentar a integração da Web com a sociedade, tornando mais efetiva e mais segura a distribuição de informação, e mais eficazes e eficientes os seus serviços, de forma a proporcionar um vetor de mudanças sociais e econômicas no País. As atividades do projeto compreendem atividades relacionadas à pesquisa, à formação de recursos humanos e à transferência de conhecimento para a sociedade e para o setor empresarial. Integrantes: Nivio Ziviani (coordenador), Wagner Meira Junior, Virgilio Augusto Fernandes Almeida, Dorgival Olavo Guedes Neto, Jussara Marques de Almeida, Alberto Henrique Frade Laender.
2009 a Atual	INWeb - Instituto Nacional de Ciência e Tecnologia para a Web O INCT para Web é uma rede integrada de pesquisadores de quatro instituições, coordenada pelo prof. Virgilio Almeida, do Departamento de Ciência da Computação da UFMG. A Web é o maior sistema de informação e comunicação já construído, e interfere de forma significativa nas atividades humanas. O INCT Web foi criado para projetar e desenvolver sistemas, tecnologias e aplicações que permitam explorar as possibilidades de uso da Web no futuro de forma benéfica para a sociedade. O INCT Web visa estudar e entender os fundamentos científicos e tecnológicos da Web, bem como suas repercussões sociais, para propor e desenvolver sistemas e tecnologias que poderão compor a Web do futuro. O INCT para Web envolve pesquisadores e alunos da UFMG, CEFET-MG, UFAM e UFRGS.. Integrantes: Virgilio Augusto Fernandes Almeida (coordenador), Wagner Meira Junior, Nivio Ziviani, Dorgival Olavo Guedes Neto, Renato Antonio Celso Ferreira, Jussara Marques de Almeida, Marcos Andre Goncalves, Raquel de Oliveira Prates, Alberto Henrique Frade Laender, Adriano Cesar Machado Pereira, Gisele Lobo Pappa, Mirella Moro, Clodoveu Augusto Davis Jr..
