Many people and entities participated and helped to develop MSP Challenge Simulation Platform, we do apologize if we didn't mention all of them. Some provided ideas for improvements, sources of data or contacts from their network. All of those contributions are greatly valued. If we forgot to mention you or your organization, please drop us a line. We are deeply grateful for the small community that already exists and supports us.
Co-funded by the European Union.
