The HCEMM ACFs provide clear benefits to researchers, such as:

• experienced and highly educated staff that can help in setting up and executing experiments
• large variety of research infrastructure, unaffordable by single research groups
• infrastructure maintenance and renewal that is covered by contracts with vendors
• professional user management and pay per system usage

The ACFs serve as a bridge between the research groups involved in technology development and future users who expect to utilize novel technology achievements in their mature form. The ACF network builds on the expertise of research groups, but its advanced technologies will be developed towards streamlining their utilization by a larger userbase. An important focus of the HCEMM is to bring our ACF network into direct contact with research groups and companies developing interesting, applicable technologies.

Our ACFs are established in Szeged and Budapest, so that they provide the best support to the HCEMM founding institutions located in these cities.
