YPN visits Nikhef

YPN has organized a new event. This next event will be a company visit to Nikhef, located in Amsterdam, on the 24th of November 2022.


Nikhef is the Dutch National Institute for Subatomic Physics.The institute performs research into the elementary building blocks of our Universe, their mutual forces and the structure of space and time. This has contributed, among other things, to the development of the internet, GPS navigation, advanced sensor technologies and medical imaging techniques. The knowledge and technology transfer to third parties, i.e., industry, civil society and general public, is an integral part of Nikhef’s mission.
