At the School of Computer Science and Information Technology, students are actively engaged in research and innovation from the early stages of their academic journey — a commitment proudly reflected at CIIT 2026.

In collaboration with faculty mentors, Prof. Marija Stankova, PhD, and Prof. Viktor Denkovski, PhD, our students successfully presented two research papers that explore epidemic modeling, simulation systems, and AI-driven solutions for intelligent transportation—demonstrating both technical depth and real-world relevance:
