On Wednesday 11/05 Her Royal Highness Princess Astrid of Belgium visited UKAEA Science Center in Oxford. The tour was arranged as part of the Belgian Economic Mission, the first of its kind since Brexit and the pandemic, and raised the importance of fusion energy in delivering an environmentally responsible future energy supply. Twenty-six representatives from the Belgian delegation covering officials, government, industry, academia and press, toured Culham Science Centre, including: Tinne Van der Straeten, Minister of Energy, Willy Borsus, Vice-President of the Walloon Government, Ambassador Dirk WOUTERS, Advisor to Her Royal Highness Princess Astrid, and Bruno Van Der Pluijm, Ambassador of Belgium to the United Kingdom. Several members of LPP who actively contributed in the record-breaking fusion energy results announced earlier this year were present during this visit.
