Mission EUROfusion's mission is to pave the way for fusion power reactors. To do so, the consortium funds the research at 28 of its members (in 26 EU member states) on the basis of the "European Roadmap to the Realisation of Fusion Energy" as a joint programme within Euratom Horizon Europe.

The EUROfusion programme is based on the Roadmap to the Realisation of Fusion Energy. The programme has two main pillars: Preparing for ITER experiments; Developing a concept for the future demonstration fusion power plant DEMO; Twenty-eight of the European consortium members, receive funding from Euratom for fusion projects in accordance with their participation in the missions and ...

To realise fusion, the EUROfusion consortium brings together 4800 researchers, staff and students from its 28 member institutes, 3 associated partners, and 162 affiliated entities from across Europe. Together these researchers have set up a focused research programme guided by the European Roadmap ...

The EUROfusion roadmap forms the basis for the programme of EUROfusion and provides a clear and structured way forward to commercial energy from fusion.

This work has been carried out within the framework of the EUROfusion Consortium and has received funding from the Euratom research and training programme 2014-2018 and 2019-2020 under grant agreement No 633053.

The tokamak. The most advanced and best investigated fusion device design available today is the tokamak.Tokamak is a Russian acronym for the term Тороидальная Камера с Магнитными Катушками meaning a torus-shaped vacuum chamber surrounded by magnetic coils, which create a toroidal magnetic field. The largest operating tokamak today is EUROfusion’s ...

Currently, 31 research organisations, and behind them about 162 affiliated entities including universities and companies, from 26 European Union member states plus the United Kingdom, Switzerland and Norway are members of the consortium.
