Our International Partnerships

SIRIUS has a broad network with global reach. We work with leading groups in our computer science disciplines and host visiting researchers from these groups. As the beacon projects in SIRIUS have developed, we have also established links with groups working in engineering, geosciences and petroleum engineering.
