The Center for Studies and Innovation in Knowledge Management (CEIEC) is an institute created in 2007 by Francisco de Vitoria University with the support of the Ministry of Industry, Tourism, and Trade (Call for Reference Centers and Digital Content – AVANZA Plan; BOE September 20, 2007; PAV-100.000-2007-412) and the European Union through the ERDF Funds.

After several years focused on research, design, and development of Serious Games geared toward the world of disability and culture, the Center is currently dedicated to R&D&I in the field of Artificial Intelligence, both in terms of basic research into models and algorithms and in terms of application to specific domains.

We work with deep learning neural models and evolutionary computing algorithms (genetic algorithms) and apply them to fields such as medicine, architecture and heritage, AAL (Active & Assisted Living), energy efficiency, and law through signal processing, image analysis, and natural language processing (NLP). To this end, we collaborate with researchers from other faculties/universities and participate in competitive public and private research projects and R&D&I contracts with companies in these sectors.

We also conduct transdisciplinary research in collaboration with humanities departments at the intersection between philosophy and artificial intelligence, both in terms of the ethical implications of AI use and the anthropological and epistemological concepts of this science.
