Mission The mission of Rijnhuizen is: 1. To perform high-quality scientific research and to develop methods and techniques with that aim, in the field of: Fusion Physics, comprising both fundamental research aimed at controlled fusion in the framework ITER and the European fusion research programme, for which Rijnhuizen acts as the national home-base, and in-house research in the field of low-temperature plasma physics; Generation and Utilization of THz Radiation, comprising both in-house research and the exploitation of an international research facility, the free-electron laser for infrared experiments FELIX/FELICE, for high-quality scientific research of external users; Nanolayer Surface and Interface Physics, including applications in plasma physics and short-wavelength optics. 2. To train graduate and undergraduate students and technicians; 3. To transfer high-level scientific and technical knowledge to the international research community, industry and society at large.
Addition The institute is usually referred to as Rijnhuizen, the name of an 18th-century mansion and of the surrounding estate, which forms the institutes premises since its foundation in 1959. A major mission of Rijnhuizen is to contribute to the European research programme on nuclear fusion, a programme which is co-ordinated and financially supported by Euratom via an Association Agreement. The Association Euratom-FOM is also responsible for the Dutch contribution to the European Fusion Development Agreement (EFDA), signed 30 March 1999. The EFDA Agreement is part of a long-term programme of co-operation covering all the activities in the field of controlled thermonuclear fusion by magnetic confinement in the European Union and in the Swiss Confederation. Its aim is to provide a framework for implementing research, development and design work in preparation for the possible construction of an experimental fusion reactor.
