Virtual Inside Diamond - Public Open Day

Our virtual Inside Diamond open day events offer the chance for members of the public to virtually visit the facility and see inside our particle accelerator and experimental laboratories. You will also meet some of the scientists that use Diamond and can ask them about the work they do - everything from viral proteins to engine parts and ancient texts.

The visit will typically take approximately 2 hours and will consist of:

An introductory talk giving a general overview of Diamond and what it is used for.
A guided virtual tour - including a trip to see inside the synchrotron and our laboratories
An opportunity to talk to Diamond employees and ask them about their work and the facility.

We also run dedicated school visits and group visits.

Diamond hosts regular Inside Diamond open day events, however due to the COVID-19 pandemic these events have changed format.

The next Open Day on Saturday 6th November 2021 will be held virtually. Registration will open in October.

Other future 2022 Inside Diamond Open Days will be evaluated and the format confirmed (in-person or virtual) at a later date.

Future 2022 Inside Diamond public open days are:

Saturday 12th March 2022

June 2022 (date TBC)

August 2022 (date TBC)

November 2022 (date TBC)

If in-person visits to Diamond are not possible in 2022, virtual alternatives will be available. Please revisit this page for updates.
