CCMR Facilities 101

Facilities 101 is an annual event to introduce prospective business and industry users to CCMR shared facilities and resources with an overview provided by staff along with facility tours and live demonstrations.

Thank You for a Great 2023 Workshop, See You Next Year!

Companies and/or individuals with a materials-related technical challenge are invited to visit our Ithaca campus to learn more about the programs, facilities, and other resources available through CCMR. Technical directors, product managers, engineers, technicians, and any other potential CCMR facility users are encouraged to attend this industry-focused introduction to the laboratories, equipment, and staff associated with the CCMR.

CCMR will provide opportunities to meet one-on-one with technical staff who manage the facilities, take walking tours of the labs, see equipment demonstrations, and discuss questions or concerns with a CCMR expert.
