Research
The Faculty of Automatic Control and Computer Science has modern laboratories with state-of-the-art equipment. Many of them represent the outcome of the collaborations with institutes of research and companies: IBM, HP, Compaq, Cisco, Oracle, Motorola, Siemens, Microsoft, Q'Net, UTI, Asti, EArts and others.
The research activity takes place in the faculty’s research centers, in the laboratories, on the faculty’s research platform. We also participate at European projects and at national projects of excellence.
The students can also work on research projects together with their teachers and professors, can have trainings and can do their BS project in the faculty’s research centers and laboratories or at different European universities.
