 EU fusion programmeFusion research in Europe is aimed at demonstrating that nuclear fusion is a viable future energy option. Achieving this aim requires a sustained, long-term and large scale research effort, which would be impossible to sustain for any single European country. That is why all the Member states of the European Union collaborate in a single European research programme, which is coordinated by the European Commission. The Swiss Federation is also part of this programme. EU fusion research institutionsMore then twenty-five research institutes across Europe together carry out a coordinated fusion research programme.

Read more >> EU fusion researchThe European Fusion Programme carries out preparations for the ITER project, performs technology R&D for future fusion power plants, and undertakes joint experiments such as JET, the world's largest fusion experiment. Read more >> The role of EFDAThe role of EFDA is to strengthen the coordination and collaboration between all the Euratom Fusion Associations and the European Commission. Read more >> The European Domestic AgencyThe European Domestic Agency in Barcelona is responsible for the European contribution to the ITER project. Read more >> European IndustryModern fusion experiments are large, complex devices of industrial size. European industry plays a large role in constructing these devices. Read more >> Spin-off BenefitsFusion research is full of technological challenges, and many of the resulting innovations have applications far outside the field of fusion power generation. These spin-offs provide direct benefits to the European companies. Read more >> Socio-economic researchA successful fusion programme must lead to an energy source, which is both socially and economically acceptable. Socio-Economic research, which focuses on these aspects of fusion power, are an integral part of European fusion Research. Read more >> Scientific & Technical PublicationsEFDA publishes many studies on all aspects of fusion power. They can be found here. Read more >> |
