We are proud to announce that the Josef Ressel-Centre HEUREKA! a research laboratory at the FH-OÖ officially started today. The website can be found at heureka.heuristiclab.com and explains the mission and background of this lab, research plans and our partners. Josef Ressel-Centres are an equivalent to the well-known Christian Doppler laboratories, but specifically adjusted to aid the development of the Austrian Universities of Applied Scienes. They are funded partly by an industry consortium, partly by the FH-OÖ and partly by the Austrian Research Promotion Agency (FFG).

The HeuristicLab development team welcomes a visiting PhD student from the university of Riga, Latvia! Tatjana Lagzdina will stay here for the next three months investigating the application of robust optimization techniques to simulation-based optimization tasks.
