Breakthrough in impurity reduction proves promising for ITER and future power plants
EUROfusion researchers at the Joint European Torus (JET) fusion device have made a significant breakthrough in the development of fusion energy by confirming that fusion devices can effectively remove impurities coming from the metal divertor, reducing heat loss from the fusion plasma.
Nuclear fusion simulation to pioneer transition to exascale supercomputers
The EU Commission is providing 2.14 million euros in funding to take the GENE simulation code developed at the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics (IPP) to a new level. By using exascale supercomputers, it enables digital twins of nuclear fusion experiments such as ITER in future. IPP, the Max Planck Computing and Data Facility (MPCDF) and the Technical University of Munich will work together on the project.
“I will do all I can to support this!”
Women in Fusion is a global platform for highlighting and encouraging the role of women in the fusion field. Initiated by a collaboration of founding members including EUROfusion, WiF aims to collaborate with members and organizations around the world, inspire local Chapters, and ensure that women fusioneers around the world have a platform for support […]
The heavy lifting of public R&D
The potential of fusion energy is immense, but who will realise it first? On the Innovation News Network, two EUROfusion experts Sara Moradi and Richard Kembleton discuss how public research helps the entire field to get fusion power ready for the grid. Read the entire article!
Fusion robots at work in the UK space industry
Advanced robotics and remote handling technologies from fusion successfully trialled for complex operations in the space industry.
Support for fusion science in Ukraine
EUROfusion makes available a total of 2.5 million euros in funding to support the fusion research at its member the National Science Center Kharkov Institute of Physics and Technology (KIPT) and associated entities in Ukraine.
“Everyone here works for something greater”
Every year the European forum for research organisations EIROforum organizes the European Science Competition for Young Scientists EUCYS. As an EIROforum member, EUROfusion makes available a visit to its research facility JET (Joint European Torus) for the winners of this contest. We talked to one of the prize winners to hear about their experience.
Eleven talented scientists receive ERG grants
The EUROfusion consortium for the realisation of fusion energy has awarded eleven EUROfusion “Bernard Bigot” Researcher Grants (ERG) to talented post-doctoral researchers across Europe. The ERG grants enable early-career researchers to develop innovative ideas and techniques to advance EUROfusion’s Roadmap to Fusion Energy.
EUROfusion awards eleven Engineering Grants
The EUROfusion Engineering Grants (EEGs) aim to attract top early-career engineering talent to work on key technological challenges and develop skills that are essential to the European fusion programme.
