The CiTIUS was founded in 2010 as a Singular Research Center of the University of Santiago de Compostela within the Campus Vida initiative. Campus Vida is a strategic initiative of the University of Santiago de Compostela that supports the academic, scientific, technological and socioeconomic research activity in the Life Sciences and Technologies. It is organized as a Network of Research Centers in the areas of Medicine (CiMUS), Chemistry (CiQUS) and Information Technologies Technology (CiTIUS). In spite of being a newly created Research Center, it is formed by a team of 32 Main Researchers, all of whom have extensive research experience and a broad curriculum in R&D projects and contracts that involve cooperation and knowledge transfer with relevant national and international research groups and companies. Four research units develop their activity at the CiTIUS. These Research units project their research into a total of seven Scientific Programs: HPC and Cloud Computing, e-health, Data Engineering, Ambient Intelligence, Business and Web Intelligence, Robotics and Artificial Vision.
