Come learn about the Foundry's tools and capabilities through our Open House series!
We are pleased to offer technical Open House visits for Berkeley Lab staff members and affiliates, consisting of a 1-hour tour followed by a networking session. Each Open House will focus on a theme corresponding to current DOE initiatives. Foundry staff will be presenting instruments and capabilities to motivate scientific discussions. Currently these sessions are limited to 25 people per tour. Please note these tours will be technical in nature and are not intended for a general audience. General tours of the Foundry will be offered in Spring and Fall of 2025.
If you have any questions regarding these tours, please contact MF-CDC@lbl.gov. You can also contact us if you would like to be notified when new tours are scheduled. If your whole group would like to come on a tour together, please contact us and we can schedule a customized tour for your group.
The following Open Houses are scheduled and available for sign-ups:
Advanced Characterization for Catalysis and Chemistry - April 16, 2025 1-2:30 pm
Nanoscale materials unlock the potential for catalysis. Come see the advanced characterization tools available to study the structure and chemistry of important catalytic materials. The tour will start at 1:00 pm in B-67, walk to B-72, and will end at B-30 - a shuttle will transport participants between B-72 and B-30.
