Goethe Competence Center (GCC)
GCC organize methodically interrelated (large-scale) research equipment or entire analysis or specialized synthesis processes, for the implementation of which various (large-scale) research equipment is used. To this end, GCC organize their decision-making and organizational processes independently and in a demand- and service-oriented manner.
