Resting on the different activities of 3icar, the research sector has two goals.

Secondly, to participate in the development of technological tools in relation to writing, music and multimedia projects. Along with icarResearch , 3icar proposes educational actions or training which is adapted to any kind of people. The contributors are chosen from among the specialists in their domains (musicologists, interpreters, scientists), framed by the different departments of 3icar and the educational experience of its members (such as the Ministry for the Arts and the Ministry of Education). 3icar proposes a playful and interactive education, to better grasp the creative issues of the 21st century.
