Representatives from F4E’s Business Intelligence Group and ITER Department were on hand to answer questions from Swiss companies regarding procurement procedures, upcoming calls for tender as well as technical details on remote handling and instrumentations and control within the scope of CODAC (control, data access and communication) and port plugs. The event, organised by the Swiss Industrial Liaison Association on 30 March in Bern, Switzerland, included a presentation on the Swiss interests in ITER by Dr Andreas Werthmueller, from the Swiss State Secretariat for Education and Research and also member of the F4E Governing Board. Representatives from approximately 50 companies attended and as well as listening to the general presentations they were given the opportunity for one-on-one meetings with F4E staff where they were briefed on how they could be involved and given advice on key players and how to approach them.
