European Union and open science

09 Jul

The European Union (EU) gave the green light for the project OpenDreamKitHorizon_2020 about  €  ​​7 million for the development of free software in high computing power interactive environments in the use of mathematical tools.

The project is inside in Horizon 2020, the EU has provided € 7.6 million to help finance an open source software project that will expand the capacity of computational mathematics and interactive computing environments.

Besides mathematics the project will also develop tools virtual computing environment by creating interactive documents can solve equations using computer code, with visualization of the data. Will be 15 academic and industrial partners participating in a four-year project and hope to revolutionize the ability to reproduce documents and data mining experiments of computational research. According to prof. Dr. Hans Fangohr the University of Southampton, both the objectives of the project as “… the approaches are closely linked to work in the community and Southampton courses our Computer Modelling Group Group and the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Southampton training in Computational Modeling Next Generation, “said the teacher to the site of the University of Southampton.

For him the OpenDreamKit has “this commitment to developing cutting edge of these tools is a great opportunity to contribute with the tools that are of great value to many researchers and students in academia and industry.”

  Thanks to free software this will be achieved contributing to the Open Science.
