Grand challenges

This is where you enter any Grand challenges.

As soon as you start entering the Grand challenge or its abbreviation, the system will display a number of possible names. If applicable, select the correct entry from the list.

These keywords are used to describe the Grand challenges (GC), Key technologies (KT), or basic research and methods (other) for the research neutron source (FRM II) at Heinz Maier-Leibnitz Zentrum (MLZ) in Garching.

Please select just one category from the drop-down list. If you need to select more than one category, the order of the entries is important. The primary GC, KT, etc. should be listed first. You can change the sequence of entries by clicking on an entry and dragging and dropping it to the correct position.

This classification process should be carried out as appropriate for all publications based on experiments or work performed at MLZ/FRM II.
