The Information Technology Research Centre (ITRC) is a research Center funded by the Nile Information Technology Center and located in Faculty of Mathematical Science – University of Khartoum since its foundation in 2008.

The objective of ITRC is to promote basic and applied research in Computer Science and Informatics. ITRC research team is expected to be composed by more than 20 researchers, of which around 8 hold a PhD degree. While the vast majority of its members are from the Faculty of Mathematical Science, ITRC has also acted as an attraction pole for researchers from other nearby universities.

The research directions at ITRC covers a wide spectrum of themes, ranging from the foundations and models, programming languages and software architectures, to Communication and Networking Security  interaction, multimedia, graphics, interaction, and human language technologies and tools. Such a broad coverage of scientific themes, in close connection with the graduate and undergraduate teaching mission of our host Department of Informatics is a distinctive aspect of ITRC.

We believe that our integrated approach to research, and commitment to postgraduate education through research, is providing us the ability to keep cutting the edge while tackling many emerging challenges in computing science and engineering, in close cooperation with academic and industrial partners at the national and international scale.
