Updating the research group info on the LIP website
The texts introducing the research groups, competence centers or infrastructures in the LIP website are an important visiting card. They should be concise and understandable by those who visit us. This is particularly important in view of the ongoing evaluation of the research units.
Please remember these texts can be updated directly in the LIP database.
