Public funding of modelling and simulation in austria

Authors:   P. Kerschl, A. Pogány

Abstract

The first two calls of the funding initiative ModSim Computational Mathematics showed that there is a high variety of different areas already addressed by Austrian research institutions and companies. It has turned out that the initiative is important to reduce the gap between high level academic modelling and simulation and the commercially relevant use of the tools. The number of high quality proposals is not sufficient to use the full amount of available funding money at once, and it shows us to make smaller calls with a call volume.of about ? 2 Mio. .The public intervention for modelling and simulation is justified by the vision to change the behaviour of the company partners in the long run. The aim is to implement modelling and simulation as a standard tool in the every-day business of Austrian companies. Beside the technical innovations, ModSim wants the funded institutions to establish long-term structures for a broader usage of modelling and simulation.
