Increasing the scientific excellence and innovation capacity in Data-Driven Simulation of the University of Luxembourg

Project description

Data-driven simulation research

Data is valuable today, particularly in the fields of science and technological advancements. In this context, the EU-funded DRIVEN project will improve data-driven simulation of the European and international partners at the University of Luxembourg (UL), the Institut National de Recherche en Informatique et en Automatique (Inria), the University of Limerick (ULIM) and the University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin). There’s a need for experts in the field. As such, the project will work to reinforce existing study programmes in data-driven simulations throughout this partnership. It will run three different projects with its partners on varied appliances of data-driven simulations and finally by exchanging and educating staff.

Objective

The overall aim of the DRIVEN project is to boost the scientific excellence and technology-transfer capacity in data-driven
simulation of the University of Luxembourg (UL) by creating a network with the high-quality Twinning partners: Institut
National de Recherche en Informatique et en Automatique (Inria), University of Limerick (ULIM) and University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin). To achieve this aim, the 3 year project will build upon the existing strong research and innovation base of UL and its Twinning partners.

To boost their scientific excellence and technology transfer capacity in data-driven simulation, the partners will implement a
research and innovation strategy focused on three sub-topics:

1. Mathematical foundations for data-driven simulations – UL with UT Austin,
2. Data-driven simulations for computer-assisted therapy – UL with Inria, and
3. Data-driven simulations for functional composite materials – UL with ULIM.

The research and innovation strategy takes into account the recent SWOT analysis of UL and has the following objectives:

• Objective 1: Strengthen UL’s research excellence in data-driven simulation
• Objective 2: Enhance the research and innovation capacity of UL and the Twinning partners
• Objective 3: Raise the research profile of UL and the Twinning Partners
• Objective 4: Contribute to the SMART Specialisation Strategy of Luxembourg
• Objective 5: Support research and innovation on a European level
In order to achieve these objectives, the consortium partners will implement a comprehensive set of measures via the
project’s work packages:

• Short term staff exchanges (WP1);
• Training workshops, conferences and summer schools (WP2);
• Dissemination and outreach (WP3).
