Date.

On behalf of the X-IFU consortium, we would like to wish you a happy, healthy and peaceful New Year.

We are clearly living through difficult times, so developing education, promoting culture and improving human knowledge should remain priorities for those intending to make our Earth a better place to live in. This is why your contribution to the development of the X-IFU is 
also important, as it will eventually lead to breakthroughs in our understanding of the whole Universe.


All the best and best regards,

Didier and Thien
