In November 2007, Stefan Seidel from the European Centre for Information Systems (ERCIS) of the University of Muenster, Germany, visited our research group. ERCIS became become an Affiliated Partner of the Centre of Excellence in early 2008, and a collaboration agreement has been signed by CCI and the University of Muenster. The goal of the collaborative project ‘Creativity and Business Processes’ is to investigate how creativity in organisations influences business processes, and thus, business process management.

More about ERCIS
The ERCIS - European Research Center for Information Systems - is a network of scientists that conduct cooperative research in the field of integrated information systems development and organizational design. For the first time, core competencies in the discipline of information systems are interrelated with issues in the field of computer science, business administration and specific legal issues within an institutional framework. Thus, a holistic view of information system development and organizational design issues can be ensured.

Due to its outstanding reputation in both research and teaching within the field of information systems and business administration, the University of Münster has been selected by the federal state of North Rhine-Westphalia to found the European Research Center for Information Systems. Its objective is to undertake joint research projects that span different disciplines and countries, thus fostering research at a level that cannot be achieved by individual go-it-alone projects. The exchange of researchers, such as PhD students, lecturers or (associate) professors, is encouraged and cooperative masters and doctoral programs are also part of the overall objective.
