CoE RAISE helps Treble Technologies improve acoustic response in virtual reality applications
Treble Technologies is an Icelandic startup and SME specializing in acoustic simulations. They simulate the acoustical effects of proposed architectural designs and present these results in virtual reality. This lets Treble's clients experience the soundscape of a building or other environment so that they can identify and correct acoustic problems before construction begins.

International Day of Women and Girls in Science
In 2015, the United Nations General Assembly declared February 11 as the International Day of Women and Girls in Science. The goal is to achieve full and equal access to and participation of women and girls in science and to further advance gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls. As part of this day, we would like to feature three of our team members in RAISE.

Waiting has come to an end: RAISE colleagues are on the road.
Since the start of the project in January 2021, almost all events took place digitally due to COVID19 travelling restrictions putting networking to the test. Finally, after almost one and a half years, the first in-person events became possible again. The RAISE colleagues used this opportunity and visited trade fairs and workshops in Germany, the Czech Republic, Iceland, France, and Italy to spread the words about the project.

Towards more efficient and accurate algorithms in science and industry using machine learning
One of the primary goals in CoE RAISE is the development and expansion of Artificial Intelligence (AI) methods in line with representative use cases from research and industry. These have a strong focus on data-driven technologies, i.e. analyzing data-rich descriptions of physical phenomena. Example use cases vary widely and range from fundamental physics and remote sensing to 3D printing and acoustics.
