Successful midterm evaluation of Center for Biomedical Computing
The Research Council of Norway has published the results of the midterm evaluation of eight Centres of Excellence after three and half years of activity. The Centre for Biomedical Computing (CBC), hosted by Simula, is assessed as Exceptionally good and is secured funding for the next five years.

The midterm evaluation has been carried out by the Research Council of Norway, and involves the centre's self-evaluation, an assessment of the centre by three international experts, and an overall evaluation made by an interdisciplinary, international evaluation committee set up by the Research Council.
In the report made by the international evaluation committee, it is stated: "CBC is a perfect example of the benefits of the Centres of Excellence, in that the establishment of the Centre has created the opportunity for developing a much broader vision than originally planned (tools developed have wide-spread applications to coupled multiphysics problems) so that the Centre has already exceeded its original ambitions, and, in the process developed unanticipated new national and international collaborations."
The midterm evaluation report is available from the Research Council's website.
