Teams from different international organisations visited Granada on 1 July to continue advancing the progress of IFMIF-DONES.

The meeting of representatives from Fusion for Energy (F4E), ATG Europe, and DONES continued to define F4E’s contribution to the DONES Programme.

Fusion for Energy (F4E) is the European Union organisation managing the European contribution to ITER, the largest scientific experiment on the road to fusion energy. This seven-party partnership (China, Europe, Japan, India, the Republic of Korea, the Russian Federation and the United States) represents half of the world’s population and 80% of the world’s GDP. Europe is responsible for almost half of the project, while the other six parties contribute equally.

Meanwhile, members of the Japanese QST institute and DONES again held a joint meeting in Granada to continue the project’s technical development. This time, discussions revolved around the Control Systems developed at LIPAc and IFMIF-DONES.

QST is committed to advancing quantum science and technology, creating world-leading research and development platforms, and exploring new fields, thus achieving significant academic, social, and economic impact.

All teams visited Escúzar to check in situ the current status of the work at IFMIF-DONES.
