50 Years: Ideas into movement Celebrating our journey, embracing future horizons

In 2024, TNI celebrates 50 years of remarkable achievements through a series of events, essays, podcasts, and more throughout the year. This significant milestone is highlighted by our major (hybrid) event, 'Ignite,' held on September 27th in Amsterdam. 'Ignite' symbolizes our enduring legacy and forward-thinking vision. As we commemorate half a century of impactful work, we also take this moment to reflect on the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead. Join us in celebrating TNI's journey as we prepare for a future filled with new possibilities.
