Research Activities

• Scientific activities are carried out by center
  scientific staffs, by
• division initiatives (working group, topics
  program) and
• by a number of focus groups.
• Attract internationally well known scientists to
  come to give lectures
• The division pays much emphasis on guiding and
  training our
• students and postdocs to conduct researches
  competitive world wide
• by supporting some of them to attend well known
  international
• schools and conferences.
