South Holland first choice for new location SRON

The NWO executive board and the board of the Netherlands Space Research Institute SRON have expressed their preference for the joint bid of Leiden University and Delft University of Technology. In this bid, SRON Utrecht will relocate in several years time to a new building on the campus of Leiden University. NWO and SRON are pleased about this new location and the many possibilities it offers for collaborating in science, technology development and instrument construction. The intended decision of NWO and SRON will now be submitted to the works councils of SRON and NWO who will issue their advice in the coming months. After that advice from the works councils has been received, the NWO executive board will take a final decision in 2018.
