The FOM Institute for Plasma Physics Rijnhuizen pays much attention to the transfer of scientific results to the public domain and the application as new technology, i.e. valorisation. In accordance with the FOM valorisation policy, there is collaboration with industry on the basis of Industrial Partnership Programs wherever possible.
Separately from the general open house, a special open house is organized for students. This year's open house for students takes place on Thursday 14 October 2010.

The history of the Rijnhuizen Castle begins some eight hundred years ago when an originally wooden stronghold was first mentioned in the annals. Hardly two centuries later it was replaced by a brick building forming two fortified houses of 6 x 6 m2 connected together. During some turbulent centuries Rijnhuizen Castle was destroyed several times. In 1640 Sir Reinoud van Tuyll van Serooskerke rebuilt it into its present shape. In 1655 the De Geer family acquired Rijnhuizen that remained privately owned until the Foundation for Fundamental Research on Matter - FOM - bought it in 1958.
Rijnhuizen is one of the three research institutes of the Foundation for fundamental research on matter (FOM), the funding organization for physics in the Netherlands. In addition to these three institutes, FOM supports a large fraction of the physics research at Dutch universities. The primary goal of FOM is to promote fundamental research on matter for the advancement of science. The research funded by FOM is nationally coordinated in some 100 comprehensive research programmes, so-called 'FOM programmes'.
