German term

Gegenstand der Modellbildung

German to English Science Physics Activities of a Research Unit
"Experimentalphysiker, Chemiker, theoretische Physiker und Strömungsmechaniker der Universität XYZ wollen gemeinsam in der Forschergruppe „Nichtlineare Dynamik komplexer Kontinua“ spezielle komplexe Flüssigkeiten untersuchen, deren Bewegungsgleichungen noch ***Gegenstand der Modellbildung*** sind und für die man ein einheitliches Beschreibungskonzept finden möchte."

More from this quite horrible little sentence within a wider text about the activities of university research units. What exactly is "Gegenstand der Modellbildung"? I've currently got "object of modelling", which sounds extremely clumsy. TIA for helping me find something more English-sounding.
