Through the Research Clusters that are active in the Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) Research Track, SEERC fosters collaboration mainly among researchers from the University’s Departments of Computer Science at the International Faculty and the Faculty of Engineering, and the Information School. In addition, research topics of interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary nature are investigated in collaboration with researchers from the Management School, the Informatics Collaboratory of the Social Sciences (ICOSS), the Centre for Inquiry-based Learning in Arts and Social Sciences (CILASS), the Department of Geography, and the Department of Business Administration & Economics at City College. In parallel, the ICT Research Track actively promotes collaboration with a great number of research institutions and organisations from the region of South East Europe and beyond.
