A new future for KVI (Kernfysisch Versneller Instituut)
The Board of the University of Groningen has approved a plan regarding the future of KVI put forward by the interim director of this institute. A reorganization will now be set in motion, whereby all jobs will probably be retained. Good agreements have been made for the six tenured FOM employees. That is because the programme of the FOM focus group TRIµP to which they have been appointed will be terminated at the end of this year.
As part of the plan, some of the academic staff and the majority of the technicians (and their workshops) will be transferred to a new unit: the Centre for Advanced Radiation Technology (CART). This centre will continue to operate from within the current KVI premises, initially as an independent service directly accountable to the Board of the University.
