Trygve Helgaker and Kenneth Ruud New Tools New Opportunities New Discoveries
Motivation New experimental facilities revolutionize how we study matter unprecedented resolution in time and space Revolution in computation needed to seize new opportunities we will develop, apply, and distribute the necessary computational tools
Challenges Millions of atoms in short laser pulses and strong fields local and global processes occurring over short and long time scales Modeling of such processes poses a wall of challenges forcing us to take fresh look at computation Tear Down The WalL!

10-Year Budget Budget attachment to SFF-IV call v 2 (15.9.2015) 10 year budget for Centres of Excellence (SFF) in call 2015-16 (SFF utlysning IV) The budget relates to the 'SFF's Basic funding'. Indicate 'SFF Additional funding' in the 'Total SFF funding plan' below the main tables at the bottom of the page See call details for definition of 'SFF Basic funding' and 'SFF Additional funding'. Only budget figures for the SFF's first five year period are to be entered in the budget section of the electronic application form. all numbers in NOK 1 000 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025 2026 2027 Totals Cost plan Payroll and indirect expenses 20 349 23 848 24 207 24 577 25 484 23 580 25 133 25 531 25 940 23 881 242 530 Procurement of R&D services 2 800 2 800 2 800 2 800 2 800 2 800 2 800 2 800 2 800 2 800 28 000 Equipment* Other operating expenses* 4 232 4 232 4 257 4 257 4 257 4 257 4 257 4 257 4 232 4 232 42 470 Totals 27 381 30 880 31 264 31 634 32 541 30 637 32 190 32 588 32 972 30 913 0 313 000 Cost code Trade and industry Independent research institute Universities and university colleges 27 381 30 880 31 264 31 634 32 541 30 637 32 190 32 588 32 972 30 913 313 000 Other sectors Abroad Totals 27 381 30 880 31 264 31 634 32 541 30 637 32 190 32 588 32 972 30 913 0 313 000 Funding plan Own financing 11 581 15 080 15 464 15 834 16 741 14 837 16 390 16 788 17 172 15 113 155 000 International funding Other public funding Other private funding From Research Council* 15 800 15 800 15 800 15 800 15 800 15 800 15 800 15 800 15 800 15 800 158 000 Total SFF Basic funding 27 381 30 880 31 264 31 634 32 541 30 637 32 190 32 588 32 972 30 913 0 313 000 Numbers inside box must be entered in corresponding fields in the budget part of the electronic application form * Centres that will be carrying out research in areas with particularly high operating costs can apply for up to NOK 5 million per year from the Research Council in addition to the framework of NOK 8-13 million The costs are to be entered as "Equipment" if they involve use of research infrastructure. Otherwise they should be entered under "Other operating expenses". Please specify these costs below (rows 43-45). Centres applying for additional funding for particulary high operation cost, must submit a separat document (se template in call pages) detailing the cost items and what research activities they relate to.
