MIMOS (Italian Modelling & Simulation Association) has been created in 2000 by a group of Italian operators in the modelling, simulation, and virtual reality fields, which agreed on the opportunity to exchange experiences, increasing the knowledge and the information dissemination.

It is achieved by means of internet, papers, workshops, and meetings, facilitating knowledge among Industry, University and Institutions, giving the opportunity to cooperate and transfer technological issues, and by partnership with the most relevant international Associations in the sector.
