With recent technological breakthroughs and increased private investments the fusion industry is gaining momentum.
Europe has always been at the forefront in fusion research and technology. To develop an EU path towards fusion commercialisation and build industrial capability, it is vital for the EU to capitalise on the experience gained from the Joint European Torus (JET) and other fusion activities to date, including the EUROfusion - Realising Fusion Energy, ITER - the way to new energy and BROADER APPROACH programmes. It is important to reflect on funding and regulatory needs and to discuss cooperation mechanisms between the governments, laboratories and industry.
As a part of an ongoing process together with the Directorate-General for Research and Development towards creating an agile policy framework for fusion research and innovation, the Directorate-General for Energy invites the key fusion stakeholders to Strasbourg to discuss the current state of fusion in the EU and how to foster acceleration in fusion development. This discussion will inform concrete actions and recommendations for the Commission and EU countries to develop joint winning strategies and build a thriving European ecosystem.
