CEMIS - the Centre for Measurement and Information Systems is a contract-based joint centre of the Universities of Oulu and Jyväskylä, Kajaani University of Applied Sciences, the Centre for Metrology and Accreditation (MIKES), and VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland. CEMIS specialises in research and training in the field of measurement and information systems.
Our focus is to develop measurement and information system competence in nationally significant application areas such as the mining industry, the renewable chemical and forestry industry, vehicle information systems, sports and well-being, and game and simulation technology.
CEMIS employs about 120 measurement and information system experts. The centre’s annual funding is approximately 10 million euros.
Our vision is to be Finland’s leading research and training centre specialising in measurement and information systems by the year 2015. Utilising the combined power of our five partners we will create leading experts in this field, new technology and new business operations by offering research and development services and a high standard of training in an innovative and international environment.

Kajaani University of Applied Sciences is looking to liven up student exchanges and research and development competence. Silesia University from Poland and Toronto University of Canada are involved in such cooperation, which is also in the process of developing with Castilla La Mancha University in Spain.
The startup of CEMIS, the research and training Centre for Measurement and Information Systems, has been extremely successful. The targets set for its first year of operations have been reached according to almost 20 different indicators, with main objectives even exceeded. For example, two new businesses were created when the target was one. 13 commercial inventions were born when the target was four. CEMIS also gained more national R&D and business funding than planned and the amount of theses and publications exceeded targets.
A CEMIS Smart Systems Workshop with the theme of vehicle information systems will take place at Kajaani University of Applied Sciences (Taito 1 Auditorium, Kuntokatu 5) on 29.2.2012.
