EUROfusion is a consortium consisting of fusion research institutions in countries of the European Union and Switzerland as an associated member. The contract of the European Consortium for the Development of Fusion Energy (the full title of the consortium) replaces the contract that was valid until 2013, the European Fusion Development Agreement (EFDA).
Like EFDA, EUROfusion forms the umbrella organization for European fusion research funded by EURATOM in the eighth research framework program ' Horizon 2020 '.
organization
The consortium agreement was signed by 29 scientific organizations and universities from 26 European member states. The 'Program Management Unit' implements the research program at the Garching and Culham locations, while the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics acts as the consortium's coordinator.
