The International Center for Numerical Methods in Engineering (CIMNE) is a research organization created in 1987 at the heart of the prestigious Technical University of Catalonia (UPC) as a partnership between the Government of Catalonia and UPC. The aim of CIMNE is the development of numerical methods and computational techniques for advancing knowledge and technology in engineering in applied sciences.
CIMNE’s headquarters are located at the heart of the UPC in Barcelona. CIMNE has also premises at different buildings in several campus of the UPC. CIMNE has also offices in Spain in Madrid, Terrassa and Ibiza. In 2005 CIMNE started its international expansion and since then has created the following international branches: CIMNE Latinoamerica (Non-profit Foundation in Santa Fe, Argentina); CIMNE USA (Non-profit Corporation in Washington DC, USA); CIMNE Singapore (Non-profit Corporation in Singapore) and CIMNE Beijing (China). CIMNE employs some 200 scientists and engineers who work in the different offices of CIMNE around the world. CIMNE has also established a network of 28 Classrooms and Joint Labs in partnership with Universities in Spain and 10 Latin American countries. The research and technology development (RTD) activities of CIMNE cover a wide spectrum of topics ranging from classical engineering fields such as civil, mechanic, environmental, naval, marine and offshore, food, telecommunication and bio-medical engineering, computer sciences and applied sciences such as material sciences bio-medicine, computational physics, nature, social and economic sciences and multimedia sciences, among others. Over the last 25 years, CIMNE has taken part in over 2000 RTD projects in cooperation with some 500 companies, universities and research centers worldwide.
The RTD activities of CIMNE are complemented by education and training activities via Master Courses, short courses and seminars and CIMNE Coffee talks. CIMNE scientists supervise doctorate students in cooperation with several universities in Spain and worldwide.
CIMNE has an own Publications Department in charge of publishing books, monographs, research reports and technical reports. Besides, CIMNE also has a Congress Department that organizes international conferences and workshops in the different areas of CIMNE. It has organized 140 conferences since 1987.
CIMNE has a vocation for transferring the scientific and technical outputs from RTD projects to the industrial sector. This is effectively carried out in cooperation with companies from different sectors that exploit and market the CIMNE technology. CIMNE has actively promoted the creation of spin-off companies, some of them totally or partially owned by CIMNE, which play an important role in the industrialization and exploitation of CIMNE technology.
CIMNE maintains close cooperation links with many universities and RTD centers in the field of computational engineering and sciences worldwide. CIMNE has access to the computing facilities of several supercomputer centers in Spain and Europe.
CIMNE has been identified as one of the International Centers of Excellence on Simulation-Based Engineering and Sciences in a recent National Science Foundation (NSF) report[1]
