Centre for Scientific Visualisation

The main objective of this project is to strengthen and increase existing e-infrastructure research capabilities of the Centre of Information and Computer Science of Rudjer Boskovic Institute towards an internationally recognised, state-of-the-art research and education centre for scientific visualisation technology contributing at all levels of the scientific efficiency and higher education.

The foreseen benefits of the project are immediate increase in the competency level in research and development capability of the Centre; provision of the state-of-the-art research experience to some postgraduate students (equipment and environment, access to leading scientists in Europe); strengthening of the collaboration capability on research projects with regional (WBCs) and EU based institutions; ability to exchange researchers between the Centre and leading European Institutions; provide transfer of up-to-date technology into regional industries, and increased participation in EU-FP projects. Thus, establishing the Centres of Excellence Network in the WB region that shall be orientated to distribute parallel computing and scientific visualisation on the computer grid environment, is our important aim.

The objectives of the project will be achieved by the set of SSA activities in the areas of networking, improvement of human resources, exchange of personnel, visiting researchers, and equipment acquisition, all in the framework of the Centre's continuous development and integration with European leading international institutions and Centres of Excellence. By these specific support activities, the e Science technology will be introduced to the national and regional research community. The contribution of e Science technologies is acknowledged on the Grid platforms in the direction of new methodologies and technologies of multidisciplinary scientific-research work in basic science, technological and applied scientific researches (natural, technical, medical to social sci.)
