In this sense, Modelon the company developing Jmodelica is actually seeking a student to work upon FMI integration with Julia.

I quote :

> FMI bindings for the Julia language
> 
> The Functional Mockup Interface (FMI) represents a common language for model  
> exchange between many modelling and simulation environments. It describes how  
> FMUs, models that have been compiled into binary code, can be used to simulate  
> components within a larger system.
> 
> The aim of this thesis project is to implement initial support for working with  
> FMUs in the open source Julia programming language. Julia is a high-level, high-  
> performance dynamic programming language for technical computing, which is  
> gaining increasing attention for its execution speed and expressiveness. The  
> existing PyFMI Python package already provides similar functionality for working  
> with FMUs, and can inform the design, but there will be a need to rethink the  
> design in terms of Julia’s programming paradigm.
> 
> The basis of the project will be to create a Julia package with Julia bindings  
> (with the aid of a wrapper generator) to FMI Library, a C library for loading  
> and low level access to FMUs. These bindings will then be used to implement FMU  
> simulation functionality in Julia by interfacing to existing solvers. Developed  
> functionality will be hosted as one or more open source Julia packages on  
> [github.com](http://github.com).
> 
> Student profile: Two skilled and highly motivated students with interest in  
> numerical algorithms, programming and new programming languages. Prior knowledge  
> of C, Python and Julia is considered a merit, but is not mandatory.
