MCML-Collab for Members

Many process flows (like assumption of travel costs etc.) and useful information (like mailing lists, templates) concerning MCML can be found in our MCML-Collab area at BayernCollab, which MCML members can access with their LRZ-ID.

Note for Using MCML-Collab

  • Login at BayernCollab with your LRZ-ID.
