Description: | In the eighties of the last century the cooperation between the Dutch Research Organisation (NWO, previous ZWO) and its British counterpart (SERC, previous SRC, now STFC) was quite strong in the area of physical sciences. During this period there were regular Umbrella meetings between the parties, which took place in The Netherlands and in the United Kingdom alternatively. The photograph shows the one held in the second half of 1989 in the Alexander room of the Rijnhuizen Castle in Nieuwegein (note the gobelin with a scene of the short life of Alexander the Great in the background). In this castle the FOM Institute for Plasma physics (now DIFFER: Dutch Institute For Fundamental Energy Research) was housed at that time (now at Eindhoven University of Technology, and FELIX at Radboud University). The photograph depicts the signing of the agreement between NWO/FOM and SERC about the use of FELIX by SERC. |
