Central Facilities in Europe

The central facilities in ACTRIS are assigned to the European level.
This includes the head office, the data center and the six topical centres.


Each of these central facilities is divided into 2 - 6 units, with each unit located in a different European country.

Germany operates a total of 12 units of the topical centres and thus makes the largest contribution to these central facilities.
