Administration
The administrative department provides support for the research activities carried out by the laboratory’s researchers, engineers and technicians. On a day-to-day basis, it provides everyone with the human, financial and material resources they need to carry out their technical and administrative activities and scientific projects.
It carries out its tasks in compliance with the regulations applicable to public purchasing and accounting, human resources and buildings. It benefits from a global delegation of credit management from its two supervisory bodies, the CNRS and the Université Savoie Mont Blanc (USMB).
It therefore works closely with the CNRS Alps delegation, Savoie Mont Blanc University and IN2P3.
