Innsbruck Doctoral College Computational Interdisciplinary Modelling (DK CIM)

In 2010 the Innsbruck Doctoral College Computational Interdisciplinary Modelling (DK CIM) was initiated at the University of Innsbruck within the framework of the Research Area Scientific Computing. We provide substantiated research-guided and well-structured training for excellent Ph.D. students in the interdisciplinary field of computational modelling utilizing high performance computing, within the fields of atmospheric science, chemistry, computer science, material science, engineering science, mathematics and physics.

Background

At the University of Innsbruck scientific computing is one of six research areas, which are approved by the Austrian Federal Ministry of Science, Research and Economy (BMWFW) after thorough evaluation of the research accomplishments in the respective field. Aims of the Research Area Scientific Computing are to use inherent synergies between various research areas and different fields by cooperating withing the university, as well as between different universities and other institutions in Austria and all over the world. Thus fruitful interdisciplinary research ist fostered by exchanging knowledge and information, by sharing ressources, by coordinating funding for keeping and developing the necessary infrastructure, as well as by enhancing science oriented teaching.

DK CIM is closely linked with the international interdisciplinary Marie Skłodowska-Curie COFUND doctoral programme DOCC ("Dynamics of Complex Continua")at the University of Innsbruck, so that PhD students will profit from close interactions with other international PhD fellows in the fields of scientific computing.
