On the one hand, I have always been fascinated with being a part of the research community of my field, aiming to make my own contribution to the scientific knowledge that is going to be earned. On the other hand, it is now well-known that our fossil-fueled world is not going to last unless we change our power grid and of course our lives to a more sustainable way. Therefore, energy transition is not an idea any more, rather a necessity, regarding which such the industry as the scientific community should focus and collaborate. In my point of view, NEON project is going to provide the world and particularly the Netherlands with a complete view on how the energy transition will be managed and realized. And this is justified by the interdisciplinary collaboration of all participants in the NEON project, who address thoroughly and enthusiastically all technical, societal, psychological, economical and governmental factors related with our ultimate goal or energy transition
