Meanwhile, project appetizers offer concise previews of
promising new initiatives, concepts, or research topics
- designed to generate interest, initiate cooperation, and
attract partners for future collaboration.
Together, these elements turn the simpulse days into a
catalyst for innovation and networking. They connect
strategic foresight with operational implementation,
stimulate cross-sector learning, and accelerate the transfer
of knowledge into application.
RESEARCH CLUSTERS, WORKING GROUPS,
AND PROJECTS – TECHNICAL DEPTH AND
APPLIED INNOVATION
At the core of ASCS’s technical work are its working
groups, collaborative projects, and research clusters.
These platforms, based on cutting-edge scientific findings,
provide structured spaces where members and partners
jointly develop, validate, and industrialize methods in
simulation, AI, and HPC. Working groups foster expert
dialogue, knowledge transfer, and joint definition of
requirements, ensuring academic advances become
industry-ready solutions.
Research clusters bundle interest groups of members
around specific topics with a mid- and long-term strategy.
They bring interdisciplinary teams together to tackle
pre-competitive challenges and explore new research areas,
often through publicly funded projects. Participants
experiment with innovations, build demonstrators, and help
develop open standards and reference architectures.
Projects focus on research of practical applications and
measurable results - covering simulation, AI and HPC
methods, toolchain integration, and processes. These
efforts enhance ASCS’s technical expertise and help shape
the future of digital engineering in mobility and beyond.
CROSS-CUTTING SUPPORT: STRATEGIC
PARTNERSHIPS
To strengthen all activity levels, ASCS builds and maintains
strategic partnerships with external associations, research
institutions, and industry platforms. These partnerships
enhance the reach, credibility, and effectiveness of ASCS
activities, while also providing members with additional
opportunities for engagement, influence, and impact.
Whether at the strategic, collaborative, or technical level,
these alliances help amplify the role of simulation as a key
technology.
