The Link Foundation Modeling, Simulation, and Training Program was put in place with the following objectives:
- To foster advanced level research in modeling, simulation, and training
- To enable Ph.D. students the freedom to work on their research full time
- To disseminate the results of that research through conferences, journals, and other publications.
The Link Foundation also offers fellowships in the areas of energy production and utilization; and in the area of ocean engineering.
