Simula Research Laboratory
Simula Research Laboratory (also known as Simula) is a Norwegian non-profit research organisation located in Oslo, Norway.
Simula was founded in 2001 by the Norwegian government to conduct fundamental, long-term research within information and communication technology (ICT). Simula's research is concentrated on five areas: communication systems, scientific computing, software engineering, cyber security, and artificial intelligence.
In addition to conducting research at a high international level, Simula works to apply research in both industry and the public sector, and to educate students at the masters, graduate, and postdoctoral levels in collaboration with Norwegian and international partner universities.
The organisation includes four subsidiaries, employing over 185 employees from more than 41 countries as of 2024.
Simula Research Laboratory is registered as a limited company owned by the state and managed by the Norwegian Ministry of Education and Research. It is governed by a board of directors appointed by the owner. The board appoints a managing director (CEO), who, in turn, decides how Simula should operate daily. Dr. Lillian Røstad has been the managing director since 2023. Professor Aslak Tveito led Simula from 2002 to 2022.
Since the establishment of Simula Research Laboratory in 2001, several subsidiaries have been created to organise Simula's activities in research, education and innovation. These are spread over three locations in Norway:
Simula is funded from several different sources. There is allocated, basic funding and long-term projects from the Norwegian government. The remaining funding is secured from external sources, mainly research grants from the European Union and the Research Council of Norway, and from industry projects.
Simula Research Laboratory is named after the programming language Simula, which was developed by the Norwegian scientists Kristen Nygaard and Ole-Johan Dahl. Both men received the A. M. Turing Award in 2001 and the IEEE John von Neumann Medal in 2002 for their contribution to the development of object-oriented programming.
