Interview with Juan Manuel Moreno Bonilla, President of the Junta de Andalucía (Andalusian Regional Government)
|
“IFMIF-DONES promotes the vision of Andalusia as a technological pole”
|
|
|
The president of the Junta de Andalucía, Juan Manuel Moreno Bonilla, is convinced that IFMIF-DONES will synergise globally between institutions, companies and universities. Andalusia's incredible capacity to host the largest scientific and technological infrastructure in our country plays in its favour. In his opinion, the particle accelerator's influence on numerous industrial sectors will make it an international benchmark. Moreno Bonilla considers this project "strategic", as evidenced by the unwavering support it has received from the administrations from the outset.

Work begins on IFMIF-DONES, the largest scientific and technological infrastructure in Spain
|
|
The works to build the first three buildings of IFMIF-DONES have started in the Metropolitan Park of Escúzar (Granada). After the signing of the staking out of the works, held on 15 September, the first works on the plot have begun with the installation of the fencing and auxiliary services and the first excavation works.
The works, promoted by CIEMAT, will be carried out by the construction company EDHINOR, under the supervision of SAN JUAN ARQUITECTURA. The works have a completion period of 12 months and a budget of around 11.5 million euros.

The DIBA project analyzes the cybersecurity of IFMIF-DONES control systems
|
|
|
OnTech Innovation has coordinated this industrial research initiative, funded by the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Tourism, and developed by the companies Orolia, JTSEC, Aaron and the University of Granada. The consortium formed to carry out DIBA has developed a project for digitising critical signals through low latency communications, based on high-performance synchronisation, with direct application to IFMIF-DONES.
