List of Principal Investigators and participating institutions

This is the new list of PROCLOUD PIs. With respect to the previous list, laboratory activities were not included (see the rationale above). While some groups had a change of PI, some other previous participants withdrew from the project since they could not foresee any possibility to get funding for PROCLOUD related research. Most of the participants listed below still participate in the project in the absence of any specific EUROTRAC funding.
