Each research group consists of: a research group leader; academic staff in main, adjunct or combined positions; PhD students; master students and bachelor students; as well as technical and administrative personnel, where applicable.

The research groups will normally consist of at least three people, and should normally not exceed 25. The research groups will also be active research environments for the PhD students and for staff in competence development (associate professor, lecturer, professor). The groups will contribute to good research, development of individual projects and increased publication of results in the relevant research fields.
