MANAGEMENT


LOLS projects are managed by FCiências.ID.

In some particular cases, FCUL can also be directly responsible for the management of R&D and service contracts.

In the case of European Union programmes, FCUL is considered as a third party with respect to FCiências.ID.

ASSOCIATED R&D UNITS


LOLS researchers are also affiliated to other R&D units, therefore enabling optics and photonics challenges, in space sciences and biological and biomedical engineering, to be tackled:
