The ITER Council meeting (18-20 November 2014) heralded a new beginning for the international fusion energy project. The seven parties, at the heart of the biggest scientific collaboration in the field of energy, underlined the need for further co-ordination between them and their respective stakeholders.
During this transitional period, Fusion for Energy (F4E) will be reassessing its priorities in order to cope with the increasing requirements linked to the ITER schedule and its own finite resources. In view of these parameters, the Fusion for Energy Forum will no longer be taking place.
Our unwavering commitment to disseminate information regarding upcoming business opportunities and the progress of key ITER technologies will be fulfilled through our participation to workshops and other major conferences. As always, we encourage you to visit our webpage and the Industry and the fusion laboratories portal to keep up to date with the latest news of F4E’s contribution to ITER.
