WIR!-DigiT – Alliance for Networked Digital Product Development and Optimization through Life-Transition Virtual Gemini

Together with the TU Dresden (Institute for Lightweight Design and Plastics Technology, ILK) and the LRT (Center of Competence for Aerospace Engineering Saxony / Thuringia e.V.), the DLR-SP Institute has created the alliance WIR! –DigiT. Based on a concept initiated 2018, yearly funding is provided in the implementation phase of the BMBF funding program "WE! - Change through Innovation in the Region " since 2019. The aim is to strengthen international competitiveness for the aerospace metropolitan region of Saxony, Berlin-Brandenburg and Thuringia with the help of digitized, cross-company product development. The aim is to realize a life-phase digitalization of products, many of them from the aerospace industry.

EXCELLERAT - „The European Centre of Excellence for Engineering Applications”

Simulation applications in the engineering sector are expected to possess a high potential for exascale computing, both in science and industry. The aim of EXCELLERAT is to build up a center of excellence in engineering with a broad portfolio of services with 13 competent partners from the EU, thus supporting the implementation of the European HPC strategy for exascale in the engineering sector.
