| Aim of the FOCUS programme is to scout and educate talented computer scientists. It aims at strengthening the medium-level research potential (postdocs, assistant professors, technical and programming staff) who are carrying out research in the four themes of the Dutch National Computer Science Research Agenda (NOAG-i): Algorithms and Formal Methods (AFM), Intelligent Systems (IS), Modelling, Simulation and Visualization (MSV) and Parallel and Distributed Computing (PDC). FOCUS is part of the consortium programme BRICKS (Basic Research in Informatics for Creating the Knowledge Society), a six-year programme partially funded by the Dutch BSIK theme ICT (Information and Communication Technology) of the Ministry of Economic Affairs. |
