Town Campus, University of Uyo, Uyo

About The Center

TETFUND Center of Excellence In Computational Intelligence Research (TCECIR), University of Uyo is a Research and Innovation (R&I) Centre established by the Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFUND) in November, 2020 with the mandate of developing fundamental theoretical and practical solutions to real-world problems using a variety of computational intelligence technologies; through research, innovation and capacity-building. This mandate is to be carried out in collaboration with academics, industries and other institutions in Nigeria, Africa and other countries across the globe, through some selected applied research areas and short-term training courses.

Vision, Mission & Mandate

Vision

To become an International Centre of Excellence for creating new knowledge, inspiring innovative education and research excellence through the Computational Intelligence revolution for sustainable industrial demand.

Mission

To develop manpower equipped with the knowledge, skills and abilities necessary for solving real-world problems using Computational Intelligence paradigms.

Mandate

To apply Computational Intelligence technologies to proffer solutions to real-world problems through research and innovation.

Objectives of the Center

The overall goal of TCECIR is to invent and exploit modern techniques to address the development challenge–through high-quality, industrially relevant research that targets appropriate Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Specifically, TCECIR aims to educate and train Nigerians, Africans and African researchers in the field of AI – CI, data science, data mining, optimization and other AI paradigms, who will develop and deploy innovative intelligent services to address developmental challenges across all its high-priority domains.

The specific objectives are, to:

World-class research

Perform internationally recognized and world-class research in the analysis, design and application of CI methodologies to diverse problem domains.

MSc and PhD curricula

Develop/review MSc and PhD curricula in Computer Science and Computer Engineering; and improve infrastructure to promote cutting-edge research in the field of CI, data science, cyber security and big data analytics and other paradigms of AI.

Professional short-term courses

Build capacity through professional short-term courses in data science, cybersecurity, big data, machine learning and their applications; internships, exchanges and workshops.
