We were pleased to close the year with our annual Christmas reception in Vienna hosted by ONN Director Andreas Persbo and ONN Advisory Council Chair Ambassador Kent Härstedt. We are grateful to the around 70 representatives of the Vienna nuclear community, including diplomats, experts, academics, international organisation representatives and early-career professionals, for joining us, sharing the evening, and engaging with ONN throughout the year. We look forward to deepening this collaboration in the year ahead! We are wishing you a wonderful 2026!
