Research and education in close cooperation with industry
With excellent research, education, and industrial collaboration, it is the ambition that CIS will support and expand the leading positions the industry in the area possesses on the global markets. CIS will, together with CIE and CIM, attract talented students that can step into the companies after their graduation and help generate further growth for the companies, the area, and the region. The sustainable development the companies focus on will simultaneously be strengthened.
The unit together with the Software Engineering section in Odense and the Centre for Software Technology in Vejle form the software engineering units at SDU.
