Community
Argonne's role as a world leader in science and engineering depends on the trust and support of our neighbors.

One of the nation's leading federally funded research and development centers, Argonne occupies 1,500 wooded acres about 25 miles southwest of Chicago in DuPage County. At Argonne, we take great pride in being a part of a vibrant community and engage one another as scientists and neighbors. Argonne aims to keep our community relationships strong and to continue to serve as a vital resource for the region. We work hard to maintain channels of open dialogue and to offer activities that let community members share in the excitement of doing scientific and engineering research for the nation.
