Nikhef Researchers at Nikhef (the National Institute for Subatomic Physics, a partnership between the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO) and five universities) study the interactions and structure of all elementary particles and fields at the smallest distance scale and the highest attainable energy. Nikhef coordinates and leads the Dutch experimental activities in accelerator-based particle physics (in collaboration with CERN) and astro-particle physics. The research at Nikhef relies on the development of innovative technologies. To this end Nikhef avails over advanced technical and engineering departments.
