The winning projects from FLAME’s first Open Call have now started their trials, which also means they can take advantage of the services our FLAME Mentors are offering!
The FLAME Mentors provide a first line of support for the experimenters. They are experts in their fields and in the FLAME concepts and technologies. But more than that, they take a personal interest in the success of the experiment that they mentor.
