Increasing the scientific excellence and innovation capacity in data-driven simulation of the university of luxembourg
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).
