Affiliates' Program

The Center for Subsurface Modeling established an Industrial Affiliates Program in order to foster frequent, open communication between the participating researchers and the corporate community. Over the years the Affiliates Program has also proven itself an ideal gateway for launching and conducting collaborative research efforts.

Benefits of Membership

Corporate members have ready access to leading-edge research on a variety of issues in parallel processing and high-performance computing, communicated via:

• Annual review meetings: Once a year, industrial affiliates are invited to attend a two-day meeting where CSM participants present the state-of-the-art research being conducted by CSM. Agendas and presentations from these mettings are available.
• Workshops
• Campus visits by affiliates
• Corporate visits by faculty members
• Technical reports, publications and a videotape documenting the group's activities
• Funded short-term "residencies" at CSM in which corporate staff work alongside CSM faculty, scientists and students

Corporate sponsorship yields a highly leveraged return, thanks to the large and diverse portfolio of other funding within CSM. It also provides an effective means of conducting exploratory or fundamental research that would not be feasible to perform in-house.
