Research & education
SimulaMet is OsloMet's strategic partner in digital engineering, and the research is combined with the teaching and supervision of postgraduate students. The PhD program in Engineering Science at OsloMet is a result of the partners' joint efforts.
Researchers at SimulaMet supervise PhD students employed in the company as well as PhD students employed elsewhere. They further contribute by providing courses and training at OsloMet. In addition, an increasing number of master's students receive supervision from SimulaMet personnel.
Both students and researchers affiliated with SimulaMet are supported by the Simula Academy which provides additional courses and training opportunities to develop the skills needed to become experts and leaders in their field.
