F4E is responsible for Europe’s contribution to ITER, which amounts to half of the project’s costs and translates into a wide range of business opportunities for companies and R&D organisations. Europe’s involvement in ITER offers them the possibility to extend their new know-how and gain access into a new energy market.

The Broader Approach (BA) agreement between Europe and Japan, aims to accelerate the development of fusion through joint R&D projects like JT-60SA. The knowledge gained complements ITER and IFMIF-DONES and will help advance towards future demonstration power plants.  

The mission of F4E is to make fusion energy a reality through its involvement in ITER and the Broader Approach. This know-how will also be used towards the development of commercial fusion power plants. These international cutting-edge projects attract talented and committed professionals from all over Europe.
