Mission
The establishment of core facilities and technology platforms at research institutes offers scientists access to sophisticated technologies and equipment. With appropriate management concepts, the shared use of resources and effective utilization leads to an overall improved research infrastructure. However, new challenges need to be faced in order to manage such facilities on the long run. Our group is working on legal frameworks and financing strategies to show how technology platforms can be operated sustainably in Germany.
