NWO and the National Growth Fund programme GroenvermogenNL are awarding 19.3 million euros to the HyFINE consortium for increasing the sustainability of the synthesis of specialty and fine chemicals. This can make an important contribution to making the Dutch chemical industry more sustainable.

Two postdoctoral researchers of DIFFER have been awarded a EUROfusion grant. With the Engineering Grant (EEG), Maria Morbey will work on some of the key technological questions that arise when realising fusion energy. The Research Grant (ERG) enables Stefan Dasbach to develop innovative ideas aligned with EUROfusion’s Roadmap to Fusion Energy.

What does a Dutch fundamental energy research institute look like from the inside? With DIFFER's virtual tour it's possible to take a look inside the building whenever and wherever you want. To give you the full experience, recently multiple research labs have been added to the tour. 

“The ultimate dream is to accelerate the discovery of new materials for the energy transition by combining artificial intelligence, robotics and data-driven experimentation in a self-driving lab.” This is how Maas van Apeldoorn and Delaram Khalili Samani describe the ambition of DIFFER, which has made a flying start with the recently completed final projects of the two techni

As the global energy landscape shifts toward sustainability, innovative technologies for energy conversion and storage are becoming increasingly vital.
