Simula Research Laboratory’s main objective is to create knowledge about fundamental scientific challenges that are of genuine value for society. Important research with long-term impact in the fields of networks and distributed systems, scientific computing and software engineering constitutes the basis of Simula. The strong focus on basic research is combined with both teaching of postgraduate students and development of commercial applications.

Main activities:

• RESEARCH – we conduct basic and long-term research in the fields of scientific computing, software engineering, machine learning, communication systems, and cryptography. This research is conducted at Simula Research Laboratory, Simula Metropolitan, and Simula UiB.
• EDUCATION – we educate students at the master’s, doctoral, and postdoctoral levels in partnership with Norwegian and international universities. The majority of Simula’s educational activities are organized through the Simula School of Research and Innovation (SSRI).
• INNOVATION – we promote the application of research in both the private and public sectors. The Simula Garage provides support services to tech entrepreneurs, and Simula Innovation invests in promising start
