Dynamic thematic network 

Presented here is the dynamic thematic network in which ECLT's network composed of fellows and instiutional members, is displayed.
Each node and connection corresponds to specific research theme, discipline and scientific contexts in which the selected member operates.

Board of Directors

The Board of Directors is composed of three Directors that must be members of the Science Board from different institutions; it must include one member from the Host Institution and one representative whose research profile is focused in the area of Living Technology.
