Welcome
The University of Delaware (UD), in partnership with the U.S. Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory (ANL), is developing collaborative programs that engage UD and ANL, as well as select other national labs and industry, in areas of UD/ANL joint institutional strengths.
Join Us
The program will be held from 9:00am-12:00pm on October 20 at the Embassy Suites in Newark, Delaware. At 1:30pm, there will be an opportunity for tours of laboratories at the UD STAR campus and UD Harker ISE Laboratory as space allows. Participation in either or both parts of the program is welcome, although participants will be responsible for their own lunch arrangements.
Registration is free and required no later than October 12, 2017, so that there is an accurate count of participants interested in the morning session and in the afternoon tours. Space is limited for the afternoon tours, and thus participation cannot be guaranteed; participants will be signed up for the tours in the order in which their registrations are received.
Representatives of the following DOE national laboratories have been invited to attend:
