The funds are being provided based on demonstrated high performance and growth potential, and will be used for research in formal methods. It will be used to cover salaries to attract leading researchers, as well as scholarships for PhD and undergraduate students. A strategic partnership between INSAIT researchers and engineers and Amazon Web Services is also being started.
