Yesterday the Dutch Physics Council had their first meeting to discuss the update of the strategic vision for physics. Esther Alarcon Llado @3dpv-group.bsky.social led a very fruitful discussion with our advisory board, executive board, and guests from NWO, Round Table Physics, and NextGenPhys@NL

Very happy that NWO supports this major upgrade of our national EM infrastructure. It is great that this initiative got broad support all over NL, and it will EMPower fantastic science - looking forward to that!
