The Department of Communication, Business and Information Technologies (CBIT) is an innovative and interdisciplinary university environment that combines science, the social sciences and the humanities in the study of the interplay between communication, business and information technology in theory and in practice.

Design, innovation and change in a globalised knowledge society are themes that run through CBIT research environments, where the actor perspective and a practical orientation play a central role. Many of the Department's researchers are engaged in analysing, creating, forming and communicating different types of practice involving users, workers, target groups, the public or other types of actors.
