EUROfusion ERG-EEG grant 2026
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.
Virtual tour DIFFER
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.
