About EFDA

EFDA is the European Fusion Development Agreement. A long name for a simple idea: an agreement among all the Euratom Fusion Associations to strengthen their co-ordination and collaboration. Its activities include fusion technology R&D, the exploitation of the Joint European Torus (JET) facilities, and contributions to international collaborations, such as the ITER-project.
