NWO chairman Jos Engelen opens new AMOLF laboratory

On March 18th, AMOLF’s new laboratory was opened by Jos Engelen, chairman of the Governing Board of the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO)

Engelen was the one to close an electronic circuit in a grand SuperExperiment, a self-assembling human battery, which opened the new building.

Subsequently, the more than 150 guests started a journey past 17 ‘research stations’ in the new building. All AMOLF research groups presented their work there. The festivities were concluded with a festive champagne lunch with conversation pieces, during which people were able to meet and discuss.
