Although the basic principles of IGA are known for some decades, its application in industry is less spread than one would expect considering its fundamental advantage: the representation of real surfaces in a well-defined mathematical way instead of a discrete non-smooth finite element mesh.

Combine the IGA BEM method and recent model order reduction strategies that have been applied in a pure BEM-context.

Development of mathematical tools for immersed IGA, related, in particular, to accurate and efficient integration, multipatch coupling, and dynamics (implicit and/or explicit).

Complex technical systems often require a partitioned approach to enable disciplinary modelling and simulation with bestsuited solution approaches and discretization techniques in each domain.
