Within the MFIC, we fully exploit the multidisciplinary of our team, which is flexibly extended following the needs of each individual project. The core team takes care of the general aspects of the projects but also cooperates with other ICPF experts in many specialized scientific fields. The link with commercial sector is provided via our external partners.
