&lt;/li>&lt;li> Research areas are&amp;nbsp;organizational units, which conduct research projects on&amp;nbsp;their own&amp;nbsp;authority.

&lt;/li>&lt;li> A&amp;nbsp;research area is&amp;nbsp;established on&amp;nbsp;application of&amp;nbsp;at least one&amp;nbsp;InfAI member. The&amp;nbsp;constitution of&amp;nbsp;a research area requires the&amp;nbsp;acceptance and&amp;nbsp;commencement of&amp;nbsp;at least one&amp;nbsp;research project in&amp;nbsp;this area.
