Archimedes Initiative

The Archimedes Initiative is an international partnership of four prominent organizations rooted in systems engineering: the Systems Engineering Research Center (SERC), the German Aerospace Center (DLR) Institute of Systems Engineering for Future Mobility, the Netherlands Organization for Applied Scientific Research (TNO-ESI) Embedded Systems Innovation Center, and the Center for Trustworthy Edge Computing Systems and Applications (TECoSA) at the Royal Institute of Technology in Sweden.

The four research centers operate in the context of a diverse ecosystem with nodes in industry, government agencies, and academia. Each organization excels in a dynamic field, with SERC involved in defense, DLR in automotive and maritime mobility, TNO-ESI in high-tech equipment, and TECoSA in networks and edge computing.

The aim of the Archimedes Initiative is to accelerate collaboration and innovation in systems engineering by learning from each other’s best practices.
