Nuclear fusion simulation to pioneer transition to exascale supercomputers

The image displays a 3D rendering of a white structure with rounded ends and dark gray supports holding an orange central component.

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

Bright light emanates from the center of a massive, multi-tiered structure within a high-tech industrial space.

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!

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
