The Center for Research, Development, and Continuous Education (CIRKO) was established in 2002 by the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering at Ss. Cyril and Methodius University in Skopje.

CIRKO’s main objectives are: conducting research, supporting advancements in mechanical engineering, organizing and coordinating professional training across disciplines covered by the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering.

Recognizing the need for stronger collaboration between academia and industry, the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Information Technologies (FEIT) at UKIM established the Center for Technology Transfer and Innovation – INNOFEIT како дел од своите напори да го затвори јазот помеѓу академското образование и практичната експертиза и да ги подготви своите студенти за подобро справување со индустриските предизвици кои претстојат.

ИННОФЕИТ е Центар за интеракција меѓу персоналот на ФЕИТ, студентите на ФЕИТ и индустриските партнери што ќе поттикне врски и трансфер на технологија, како и нови иновативни идеи кои ќе помогнат во економскиот раст на секторот и општеството воопшто.

The Center for Applied Research and Permanent Education in Agriculture (CIPOZ) was established in 2002 by the Faculty of Agricultural Sciences and Food (FASF) at Ss. Cyril and Methodius University in Skopje.

CIPOZ operates in the field of agriculture, focusing on enhancing research activities and improving practical training for students and farmers.
