The Energy Globe Award is one of the most prestigious environmental awards in the world. Out of more than 300 submissions across the country, VRVis' project Visdom based on the simulation software viscloud was able to prevail as the best research project in the "Water" category. It is another award that confirms that viscloud is increasingly becoming a fixed tool in international flood and heavy rain simulation. viscloud is used in the heavy rainfall hazard maps of Austria, the disaster control planning of more than 75 Austrian municipalities and cities, and as a reliable heavy rainfall hazard map expert for several German federal states.

Established in 1999, the world-renowned Energy Globe Award annually recognizes the most outstanding projects focusing on resource conservation, energy efficiency and the use of renewable energy. The aim of the award is to make the best and most innovative solutions for solving pressing environmental problems visible to the public - both nationally and internationally. At the award ceremony on October 7, which was broadcast on www.energyglobe.at and had more than 50,000 viewers, the jury presented the VRVis with the award for its cutting-edge tool for flood protection.
