CIND is a multi-disciplinary research initiative, aiming to establish a strong environment for economic geographical, cluster and innovation system studies at Uppsala University.

CIND is organized as an independent research programme within Uppsala University. The activities are located in the Ekonomikum Campus, where all research and education activities in the economic disciplines at Uppsala University are co-located.

In disciplinary terms, CIND is situated at the intersection of business studies, economic geography and economic history.
