Last week, employees, alumni, partners, founders and friends gathered to celebrate 25 years of Simula. 🧡
Did you know that Simula was born out of a government ambition tied to the redevelopment of the old airport at Fornebu? As Minister of Research and Higher Education, Sigrun Aasland, noted during the celebration:
"The establishment of Simula was a bold political choice (...) with a bold mandate to conduct research at the highest international level within ICT, to educate researchers and to create innovation. And you delivered at the highest level."
Thank you to everyone who has contributed to Simula's first 25 years and to everyone who joined us to celebrate!
👏 Great talks from Sigrun Aasland, Aslak Tveito, Lillian Røstad, Arnaud Gotlieb, Claudia Battistin, Marie E. Rognes, Olav Lysne, Carlos Cid, Fredrik Heintz and Jostein Jensen.
🌟 Special thanks to Marianne Aasen for being a wonderful Master of Ceremonies!
