Institutions and People

The rules and conditions of the Structural Funds measure of CoEs require that a CoE is composed of target-financed themes of the Ministry of Education and Research (HTM).

EXCS is based on the target-financed themes of Tarmo Uustalu, Ahto Buldas, Jaak Vilo, Marlon Dumas and Mare Koit, hosted at three institutions:

• Institute of Cybernetics at Tallinn University of Technology (IoC)
• Cybernetica AS (via its non-profit Information Security Institute)
• University of Tartu (UT) through its Dept. of Computer Science (DCS)

As of 1 September 2011, the membership of EXCS was the following:
