When researchers gather around lunch tables, at conferences, or in
bars, there are some topics that are more or less compulsory. The
discussions are about the ho- less management of the university or
the lab where they are working, the lack of funding for important
research, politicians' inability to grasp the potential of a p-
ticularly promising ?eld, and the endless series of committees that
seem to produce very little progress. It is common to meet
excellent researchers claiming that they have almost no time to do
research because writing applications, lecturing, and - tending to
committee work seem to take most of their time. Very few ever come
into a position to do something about it. With Simula we have this
chance. We were handed a considerable annual grant and more or less
left to ourselves to do whatever we thought would produce the best
possible results. We wanted to create a place where researchers
could have the time and conditions necessary to re?ect over
dif?cult problems, uninterrupted by mundane dif?culties; where
doctoral students could be properly supervised and learn the craft
of research in a well-organized and professional manner; and where
entrepreneurs could ?nd professional support in developing their
research-based - plications and innovations.
