This week has been filled with enriching technical discussions, team interactions, and commendation for the outstanding outcomes stemming from the F4E Broader Approach in Japan, with local support from ATG and Verse. During my visits to Rokkasho and Naka, I had the pleasure of engaging with individuals from Europe working with National Institutes for Quantum Science and Technology (QST). The recent advancements and hurdles encountered in IFMIF EVEDA/LIPAC captivated my interest. The significance of LIPAC, a pivotal project for both F4E and QST, lies in its validation of an accelerator's design to assess materials for future fusion devices, laying the groundwork for IFMIF-DONES in Granada, Spain. In Naka, I witnessed firsthand Japan's contributions to ITER Organization and the collaborative efforts with F4E on certain ITER components. Exploring the enhancements to JT60-SA, a remarkable EU/Japan endeavor resulting in the world's largest fusion device, we are on the verge of outlining its joint utilization by esteemed scientists from Japan and the EU. Our commitment to engaging with the local community led to a visit to Rokkasho International School, where we received a heartfelt reception. Additionally, a productive meeting with QST, the Mayor of Naka City, and the Vice Governor of Ibaraki Prefecture was arranged to showcase F4E's collaborative endeavors, a gesture they duly recognize and endorse. The alliance between the F4E and QST teams stands as a cornerstone for broader scientific and industrial cooperation between the EU and Japan, fostering a robust partnership. The acknowledgment and appreciation extended by our Japanese partners affirm the value of our European presence in the region. I extend warm gratitude to QST for their invaluable support and express my appreciation to all teams involved throughout this engaging week.
