Eindhoven as possible new location for Rijnhuizen

23 March 2010
The FOM Executive Board has indicated its preference for Eindhoven Technical University as a possible new location for the FOM Institute for Plasma Physics Rijnhuizen. The institute will be expanded to become a FOM Institute for Energy Research. FOM, the part of NWO responsible for physics research, has the ambition to have Rijnhuizen become the core of a cooperation of university groups and relevant national and international partners in the field of fundamental energy research. One of the Rijnhuizen departments will in principle be relocated elsewhere; the infrared free electron laser facility FELIX/FELICE will be relocated to the Radboud University in Nijmegen.
