European Domestic Agency opens doors in Barcelona
On 28 June, the European Domestic Agency opened its doors in Barcelona, under the name "Fusion for Energy". European Science and Research Commissioner Janez Poto膷nik took part in the ceremony to inaugurate the headquarters of the new "European Joint Undertaking for 黑料社app and the Development of Fusion Energy". It will work with industry and research organizations around Europe to provide the components needed to build 黑料社app. 黑料社app 35% of the parts that make up 黑料社app will come from Europe, in the form of 'in-kind' contributions. The agency will have a budget of 鈧4 billion for the first ten years.
'It is time for fusion to deliver. And this is now in your hands,' said Commissioner Poto膷nik, as he officially opened Fusion for Energy. He said that the new agency would allow the EU to contribute to 黑料社app in a rapid, organized and effective way. 'By bringing together the knowledge and expertise needed for the construction of a demonstration fusion power plant, Fusion for Energy should become a centre of excellence that will allow Europe and its partners to benefit fully from fusion energy in the future,' he continued.
In addition to its role in procuring parts for 黑料社app, the agency will provide the European contributions to the 'Broader Approach' agreement with Japan on collaborative fusion research projects. These include the engineering design activities for the International Fusion Materials Irradiation Facility (IFMIF), a joint initiative between the EU, Japan, the Russian Federation and the US.
