Visual Interactive Effective Worlds (VIEW)

The VIEW programme is designed to stimulate research in the field of visualisation and modelling and simulation to support this. Many of the existing techniques have an ad hoc nature. There is a need for a more basic understanding of which methods are effective, in which situations, and why. The key terms of the programme are therefore ‘generic’ and ‘effective’.

The two leading themes are:

• Interactive data visualisation
• Interactive virtual worlds

Who can apply

Researchers at universities, NWO- and KNAW-institutes. Proposals can be submitted by one head applicant who represents one or several research groups.

What can be applied for

This sum can be used for senior lecturers, PhD students, postdocs, technical personnel and programmers, instrumentation worth between 5,000 and 110,000 euro, travel and accommodation expenses for foreign colleagues, and travel expenses not included in the bench fee.

When can be applied
