The Computer Communications Group is a research and teaching group of the Department of Informatics and its Computing Science and Technology Centre (CCTC) in the School of Engineering of the University of Minho.

The Group was organised in 1975, the University's inaugural year. It has since contributed extensively to the development of the Department and to the introduction of graduate and postgraduate courses in Informatics Engineering in the country. It has played a major role in the establishment of the National Universities' Network and the Internet in Portugal.

The group teaches undergraduate and postgraduate courses, in both Master's and Doctoral's School programmes, covering a broad set of fundamental and advanced topics in computer networks and networking technologies.

Current research interests include the engineering, test and deployment of QoS-aware network solutions to support emerging applications both in wired and wireless environments. Positions are available for postgraduate students and postdoctoral candidates willing to joint current research projects.
