Company visits

In order to stimulate contacts with industry, we organise company visits for interested PhD students and postdocs. On 29 October 2015, for example, we visited the NXP Semiconductors headquarters. NXP is a Dutch company (formerly known as Philips Semiconductors) and one of the worldwide top 20 semiconductor sales leaders. A report of our visit can be found here. New company visits will be announced through the Casimir Newsletter.

Interested in inviting a group of PhD students and postdocs to your company? Contact NanoFront Managing Director Marije Boonstra to discuss how this can be arranged best.
