We are strongly committed to secure a coherent and relevant support through direct dialogue with the researchers.
BRIC has a local administrative unit which offers support within the areas of front office services, purchasing, laboratory support and safety and overall financial management. The local administration is also a connection point to central finance/project economy, HR and IT departments at UCPH. Local representatives from each of these areas are present at BRIC several days a week to offer personal service to BRIC employees.
