History

The Institute of Cybernetics was founded on the initiative of Nikolai Alumäe and started its activities on 1 September 1960, as a research institute of the Estonian Academy of Sciences (then the Academy of Sciences of the Estonian SSR).

In 1997, IoC was reorganized into an autonomous research and development institution at the Tallinn University of Technology.

The institute spun off Cybernetica AS, a very good collaboration partner and neighbour of ours.

The institute has been led by the following directors:

1960-1969Nikolai Alumäe - founder of the institute
1969-1976Boris Tamm
1976-1988Hillar Aben
1988-1997Ülo Jaaksoo
1997-2009Jaan Penjam
2009 - …Andrus Salupere

A status similar to IoC is enjoyed in TUT by the Institute of Geology ja Institute of Marine Systems.

For the 50th anniversary of IoC in 2010 we compiled an online exhibition Küberneetika Instituut 50 displaying the monographs authored and collections and journal issues edited by the researchers of IoC over the 50 years of the institute's history.
