Data Archives and Statistics: | |
Analyze and archive research outputs and research samples produced by IER and other institutes around the world. Provide these materials to researchers around the world upon request. |
All of IER researchers belong to one of these divisions, but they are conducting their research in six cross-divisional, multidisciplinary projects.
