Anniversary Day 2004 |
|
On 20th May, 2004, JET celebrated its 25th Anniversary of
the Laying of the JET Foundation Stone and the 20th Anniversary of the
Official Opening of JET. The JET Anniversary day was organised under the patronage of the
European Commissioner for Research, M. Philippe Busquin. We would like to share some highlights of this
anniversary day with you - and reflect on JET's early days
too. |

We were very proud to meet many distinguished guests at the JET site on the Anniversary day. Many of them can be seen in the photograph below. All the visitors, including former JET staff as well as current JET and Culham site staff, were able to follow the talks either in person in the Hans-Otto Wüster Seminar Room or at relay points in conference rooms. Later in the afternoon, everybody was invited to visit the Torus Hall, learn about our Remote Handling system, see a photo exhibition and finally enjoy an informal BBQ. |
