The Bremen Spatial Cognition Center (BSCC) is an interdisciplinary research institute at the University of Bremen, Germany.

We pursue interdisciplinary research on all aspects of spatial knowledge processing and spatial computing, with a focus on ICT for public health and tropical medicine. Our research ranges from understanding the role of human mobility in transmission of epidemics with mobile sensor networks or large-scale mapping of dengue vector breeding sites for disease prediction and risk modeling to intelligent techniques for clinical decision support and systems for event-based data analysis and disease control.

BSCC closely collaborates with Mahidol University, Bangkok through the Mahidol-Bremen Medical Informatics Research Unit (MIRU). MIRU supports collaborative research on the use of ICT to address pressing problems in medicine and public health. MIRU provides a space for researchers and students from both universities and other collaborating partner institutions to carry out cutting edge interdisciplinary research.
