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:
- Institute of Astrophysics and Space Sciences (IA)
- Institute of Biophysics and Biomedical Engineering (IBEB)
- BioSystems & Integrative Sciences Institute (BioISI)
- Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry (DQB).
