14 principal investigators, from Leipzig University (LU), the Leibniz Institute for Surface Engineering (IOM) and the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf – Research Site Leipzig (HZDR/FSL) contribute to the coordinated training and research programme. 15 DFG-funded and several associated doctoral and postdoctoral researchers at the institutions investigate hydrogen isotopes as part of our research programme.
