CRINICT is a service provider within the organizational structure of UE-Varna, established on December 13, 2012.
The Center was created as an important element in the implementation of the 2012 strategy for transforming the university into a high-tech I-zone, where the educational process, research activities, and administrative processes are carried out using the most advanced information and communication technologies.
The main goal of CRINICT is to activate the scientific and expert potential of lecturers, researchers, and specialists at UE-Varna for the realization of local, national, or international IT projects, aimed both at accelerating the technological development of the university and at meeting the needs of external clients.
