Research environment
The unit has achieved a critical mass. The teaching and research tasks are well 
distributed among the unit members, including the specialised technician who is also 
involved in teaching.
The equipment (commercial and self-constructed instruments) available in the 
unit is impressive. The good technical support is an asset for the group. Moreover, 
thanks to its high-quality work, the unit has good collaborations with equipment 
providers so that it also benefits from some support to maintain the equipment. 
The research environment has managed to attract postdoctoral researchers and 
postgraduate students from abroad.
The unit also attracts a large number of undergraduate students and is involved in 
five graduate schools in the training of PhD students.
