STIMULATE offers 15 PhD Marie-Sklodwska Curie fellowships for cross-disciplinary research in:

• Mathematical Modelling and Algorithms
• Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)
• Computational Biology
• Lattice Quantum Chromodynamics

Each of the fifteen fellows of the program will obtain a single joint Ph.D. degree from three academic institutions. Industrial partners that will contribute complementary expertise in computer technologies, mathematical modeling and data analytics with hands-on training will second students. The overall goal of the project is to deliver an interdisciplinary EJD program in computational science, which educates students in order to best address the challenges posed by exascale computing and data-intensive science, producing computational science professionals strategically positioned to become leaders in both academia and industry.

The main objectives of the program are the following:

1) Deliver an innovative educational program

2) Design innovative interdisciplinary research projects that use simulation and data science as their underlying methodology

3) Bridge the gap between academia and industry

4) Contribute to the transformative transition in using simulation and data science to drive scientific breakthroughs across the fields of CFD, Computational Biology and Lattice QCD

5) Promote pan-European doctoral structures in a multi-disciplinary field of research leveraging excellence across academic institutions in Europe

6) Disseminate the capabilities enabled by simulation and data science and the results of the project
