Collaborations

Domestic cooperation

Domestically, we have strongest ties to these institutions:

• Cybernetica AS (CybAS) (an R&D company, a spin-off of IoC) (Ahto Buldas, Helger Lipmaa, Jan Willemson et al.)
• Dept. of Computer Science (DCS), University of Tartu (UT) (Varmo Vene, Peeter Laud, Eero Vainikko, Jaak Vilo, Marlon Dumas et al.)
• Dept. of Computer Science (DCS) and Dept. of Computer Engineering (DCE), Tallinn University of Technology (TUT) (Jüri Vain, Tanel Tammet, Raimund Ubar, Jaan Raik, Peeter Ellervee, Gert Jervan et al.)

All of the above were our partners in the eVikings II FP5 IST accompanying measures project (Nov. 2002-Sept. 2005) and the CDC national CoE (Nov. 2002-Dec. 2007) that we coordinated. CybAS and DCS-UT are our partners also in our new CoE, EXCS (July 2008-Aug. 2015).

DCS-UT is our partner in the organization of the EWSCS winter schools (1996-...) and the Tallinn-Tartu Theory Days (autumn 2002-...).

In addition, Mait Harf is collaborating with Gunnar Grossschmidt (em., Dept. of Machinery, TUT), Ahto Kalja and Enn Tyugu are collaborating with Tiit Tiidemann (em., Dept. of Mechatronics, TUT).

Ahto Kalja is collaborating with Estonian Informatics Centre, contributing specifically to the X-tee project. Enn Tyugu is collaborating with the KV SIVAK R&D unit of the Estonian National Defence College.

Jaan Penjam and Hellis Tamm are collaborating with Peeter Normak (Dept. of Informatics, Tallinn U.).
