Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory

Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory is a large U.S. Department of Energy national laboratory and international research facility, with about 2,070 employees on a 6,800-acre site in Batavia, Illinois. Its accelerator complex, beamlines, detectors, computing resources and technical facilities support collaborations with universities, other laboratories and companies. Industry can engage through user-facility access, Strategic Partnership Projects, CRADAs, procurement and the Illinois Accelerator Research Center, where laboratory and industrial teams develop and demonstrate accelerator technologies. Research is primarily funded by the DOE Office of Science, with some programs involving other federal agencies and the State of Illinois. The Office of Partnerships and Technology Transfer manages licensing and partnership agreements and helps move laboratory inventions toward commercial use.
