Account creation is reserved to CeMEB LabEx members and associates.

Due to the limitiation of computing resources, an account is required for the use of restricted online tools.

On the MBB platform each account/member is associated to a group, which is a virtual association composed of members and an administrator who can manage the group members. Each group has singular rights defining the restricted access to the online tools, furthermore the administrator can share private content with members of his group. As a member can only be associated to one group and considering the aforementioned reasons you have to choose the group that suits you the best (see group details).

Your account request will be evaluated by the group administrator, who will or will not validate your membership. You will be notified of his decision by email.
