Applications are open for the 2026 Engineering Grants funding individual post-master engineering projects for 2-years ...

150 million degrees Celsius In order to achieve fusion on Earth, gases need to be heated to extremely high temperatures of about 150 million degrees Celsius. That is 10 times more than the ...

Current fusion experiments were primarily designed to investigate plasma physics. However, DEMO must demonstrate the necessary technologies not only for controlling a more powerful plasma than has ...

The EUROfusion programme is based on the Roadmap to the Realisation of Fusion Energy. The programme has two main pillars: Preparing for ITER experiments Developing a concept for the future ...

Explainer video about the JET record by EUROfusion programme manager Tony Donné: Watch the video on YouTube! Landmark results from EUROfusion scientists and engineers at world-leading Joint European ...

The EUROfusion roadmap forms the basis for the programme of EUROfusion and provides a clear and structured way forward to commercial energy from fusion. Since 2012, when the first version of the ...

To realise fusion, the EUROfusion consortium brings together 4800 researchers, staff and students from its 28 member institutes, 3 associated partners, and 162 affiliated entities from across Europe.

Following Eddington’s paper, Robert d’Escourt Atkinson and Fritz Houtermans provided the first calculations of the rate of nuclear fusion in stars. And at the same time, Ernest Rutherford was ...

EUROfusion’s Fusion Science programme is designed to coordinate the pan-European scientific research and experiments following the EUROfusion Roadmap to gather as much knowledge as possible to ensure ...

The result came as part of an experimental campaign to verify operating scenarios for future fusion machines, under conditions as close as possible to those in ITER and future fusion power plants. The ...

By launching 15 new research projects, EUROfusion is engaging data science experts across Europe to apply Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning techniques to fusion energy. These projects will ...

Plasma physicists combine three parameters – temperature, density and time – by multiplying them together to form what is known as the fusion product or triple product. At a certain value of the ...
