La delegazione di EUROfusion - composta da Gianfranco Federici, Programme Manager di EUROfusion, Fabio Villone già chair dello STAC (Scientific and Technical Advisory Committee) di EUROfusion e del Dipartimento di Ingegneria Elettrica e delle Tecnologie dell'Informazione, Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II e Rudolph Neu Project Leader WP-DTT presso Eurofusion - ha visitato i laboratori #ENEA di #Frascati nell'ambito di un'attività di monitoraggio per il progetto Divertor Tokamak Test (#DTT). La visita conferma la collaborazione con il consorzio #EUROfusion che ricopre un ruolo fondamentale perché non solo finanzia il progetto DTT, ma ha anche offerto un contributo cruciale allo sviluppo dell'ingegneria del divertore e dei suoi sistemi di interfaccia. Il suo supporto economico si estende alla realizzazione del divertore stesso. A delegation from EUROfusion - Gianfranco Federici, EUROfusion Programme Manager, Fabio Villone former Chair of STAC (Scientific and Technical Advisory Committee) and of Department of Electric Engineering and Information Technology of University of Naples Federico II and Rudolph Neu Project Leader WP-DTT - visited ENEA laboratories in Frascati as part of the monitoring activities for the Divertor Tokamak Test (DTT) project. The visit confirms the strong collaboration with the EUROfusion consortium which not only funds the DTT project but has also made a crucial contribution to the engineering development of the divertor and its interfaced systems. Its financial support extends to the construction of the divertor itself. #DTT #fusionenergy #Road2Fusion #FusionInEurope #EUROfusion #Innovation #CleanEnergy https://lnkd.in/dangCsgF

The 3rd JT-60SA International Fusion School took place in Naka, Japan 🇪🇺🇯🇵 20 students and young researchers from Europe and Japan spent two weeks learning, exchanging, and building the future of #FusionEnergy together. Organized by QST and EUROfusion, JIFS 2025 focused on innovation in fusion: AI-driven plasma control, advanced superconducting magnets, diagnostics, and more — all linked to the operation of the JT-60SA tokamak, the world’s largest superconducting device. As EUROfusion Programme Manager Gianfranco Federici underlined: “Training and education of the next generation of fusion researchers and engineers is one of our most important missions.” 🔗 Read more: https://lnkd.in/deWWUvJK #FusionEnergy #EUROfusion #QST #JIFS2025 #Road2Fusion #CleanEnergy #EURATOM

🇦🇹 Meet our EUROfusion member: the Austrian Academy of Sciences (ÖAW) and the Austrian Fusion Research Unit(Fusion@OEAW) in it! Within EUROfusion, Austria contributes through 5 different institutes and universities, from which two of them are: 👨🔬 Technische Universität Wien (TU Wien) – advancing plasma edge physics and fusion diagnostics. Researchers here focus on understanding the complex interactions at the plasma boundary, crucial for making fusion devices more efficient and reliable. 🖥️ Technische Universität Graz (TU Graz) – applying cutting-edge simulations to fusion research. TU Graz develops advanced numerical methods that help predict plasma behaviour and improve reactor design. 🔗 Learn more about Austria’s role in EUROfusion: https://lnkd.in/ejuTfhPA #FusionEnergy #EUROfusion #Road2Fusion #EURATOM #Austria #ÖAW #TUWien #TUGraz

🎬 We are EUROfusion – a new video series is here! EUROfusion enables even smaller and medium-sized countries to take leadership in key fields of fusion research. 💡 It brings together brilliant minds, fosters collaboration, and opens the door to big science. Without EUROfusion’s support, many of these achievements would not have been possible. This is just the beginning: throughout the year, we’ll be sharing more stories from our Members, young scientists, and engineers across Europe. 🌍🔬 👉 Watch the first video here: https://lnkd.in/d6hR7DVQ #FusionEnergy #EUROfusion #CleanEnergy #Road2Fusion

🎥 Teaser alert! We are EUROfusion. A motivated and collaborative community of researchers and engineers across Europe, working together towards fusion energy. ⚛️💡 Next week, we’ll release the first video of our new series “We are EUROfusion”. This episode celebrates the people, passion, and teamwork at the heart of our research. Later this year, the series continues with special features from EUROfusion institutes and the next generation of young physicists and engineers. 🚀 Stay tuned — the journey is just beginning. #FusionEnergy #EUROfusion #CleanEnergy #FusionFuture #Road2Fusion #EURATOM #Passion #People #Teamwork

Germany’s Forschungszentrum Jülich (FZJ) is a key EUROfusion Member through its Institute of Fusion Energy and Nuclear Waste Management (IFN). Within IFN, the Plasma Physics (IFN-1) division works on some of the toughest challenges for future fusion plants. They focus especially on the parts of a reactor that touch plasma directly, which see extreme heat, particle flows, and irradiation. Key activities include • testing and developing materials that can survive under heavy heat loads and neutron damage, • studying plasma-wall interactions, surface erosion, deposition, how materials change under these stresses, • using theory, modelling, and simulation alongside experiments, to predict behavior and guide design. They also take part in collaborations across Europe, working with major fusion devices like ITER, Wendelstein 7-X. 👉 Find out more about FZJ’s role in EUROfusion: https://lnkd.in/d97VqrTM 📷Photos: Tamás Szabolics, EUROfusion #FusionResearch #PlasmaWallInteraction #MaterialsScience #EUROfusion #Juelich #Germany #EURATOM

🇭🇺 Meet #EUROfusion Member HUN-REN Centre for Energy Research (HUN-REN EK-CER) from Hungary! Their Fusion Plasma Physics Department (magfuzio .hu) is diving deep into the physics of plasmas 🔄⚡ – the ultra-hot state of matter that fuels our quest for fusion energy. 👉 From studying turbulence to developing and building diagnostic tools, HUN-REN EK-CER contributes cutting-edge expertise to Europe’s joint effort to make fusion a reality. They also play a key role in #ITER and #DEMO-related research, ensuring Hungary is right at the heart of the #Road2Fusion.

One of fusion’s toughest challenge: the heat exhaust. International experiments at the UK’s MAST Upgrade have shown that the novel Super-X divertor design can reduce heat loads more than tenfold compared to conventional designs. This achievement, led by Dutch researchers with EUROfusion partners, demonstrates that Super-X enables robust exhaust control without affecting the plasma core — a crucial step toward future power plants.
