On 13 December, DIFFER organizes a farewell symposium on the occasion of the retirement of Prof.dr. Tony Donné. We invite you to join us to celebrate his accomplishments in fusion as a theme leader at DIFFER and as Programme Manager at the EUROfusion consortium!
As we reflect on his years of dedication, passion, and countless achievements, we come together to commemorate Tony's well-deserved retirement. We are eager to make this moment truly special. Your presence would be greatly appreciated.
