This page is a starting point for anyone making use of the SIL for the first time.

The SIL-EE lab stands for Systems Integrated Lab, and it is a new research lab of the EEMCS faculty that is comprised of two rooms in Carré (the C2531 and C2638).

The main purpose of this initiative is to create a laboratory that could provide equipment for all research groups within the EEMCS faculty. To achieve this the lab contains a set of delicate equipment (in the C2531 room) and a set of advance general equipment (in the C2638 room). The second room can also be used for as a Westzaal overflow.
