Research environment
The research environment is poor. The instruments are mostly donations from 
industry. Only equipment for luminescence and electroluminescence is available for 
research activities. The size of the group is small and the senior staff are occupied full-
time with teaching and administrative tasks. No technical support is available within 
the unit. The unit has initiated the creation of the National Graduate School of 
Chemical Sensors and Microanalytical Systems (CHEMSEM) and is still active within 
this structure.
