As researchers, the primary means of communication to our scientific peers is via scientific publications. The Network Institute facilitates our researchers in this, either via direct funding, or by providing experimental equipment, organizing match-making events, etc. Below we show a representative set of scientific publications that nicely represent the research activities facilitated by the Network Institute.
