Cover of the Fusion Expert Group opinion paper.
The European Commission’s Directorate-General for Research and Innovation has published the Fusion Expert Group (FEG) Opinion Paper. The report is the result of recent discussions within the group, made up of independent experts representing EU Member States, with F4E as an observer.
The goal of the FEG paper is to provide recommendations for the European Fusion Strategy, coordinated by European Commission, in order to accelerate the way to commercial fusion energy and position Europe at the forefront.
The recommendations are structured around five pillars:
-Support and leverage ITER, a key step on the way to pilot fusion power plants.
-Driving innovation, building a competitive industry, and developing a skilled workforce.
-Ensuring a harmonised regulatory framework.
-Strengthening international collaboration.
-Developing a seamless EU governance for fusion energy.
The FEG mentions F4E in different parts of the report. Besides our role in ITER, the recommendations place F4E as a central actor in shaping the European supply chain, developing critical technologies, maximising knowledge transfer or establishing a fusion Public-Private Partnership.
