Research environment
The unit is very well equipped with respect to research infrastructure and also has 
access to relevant shared facilities both at ÅA and at Turku Science Park. The 
proximity makes any experimental measurements readily accessible. The unit also 
develops its own instrumentation and is supported in this by an excellent 
workshop.
The number of postgraduates and postdoctoral researchers is very low. This is 
due to funding difficulties rather than a lack of potential interest. A recent new 
appointment anticipates an increase in funding, resulting from more project-oriented 
work, which may lead to a desired increase in the number of researchers in the unit.
