NBL welcomes every researcher and his/her team and students to join topics of NBL research. Basically, an allotted time for a topic is 1 year, but it can be adjusted according to the results. Based on the different types of research topics, NBL will provide different resources such as devices, traffic, and funds. However, funds limit to graduate students only and there are two students for each topic at most. The following table shows the resources supported by NBL.
