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

CIND was established in March 2003 with funding from The Swedish Agency for Innovation Systems (Vinnova), the Bank of Sweden Tercentenary Foundation and 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.

CIND is largely a virtual organization. Senior scholars and PhD students that are engaged in the research activities of CIND are employed by the Departments of Business Studies, Economic History or Social and Economic Geography. In administrative terms, CIND is linked to the Faculty of Social Science and the Department of Social and Economic Geography.
