15 December 2021 saw the EUROfusion consortium signing the Grant Agreement under Horizon Europe, the European Framework Programme from 2021 – 2027, in an aim to launch comprehensive R&D approach to developing fusion energy. In spring 2022, an in-person event will be held to present the goals and achievements of the programme.

Throughout the European Roadmap to Fusion Energy, 4800 researchers, staff and students from 30 member institutes and 152 associated entities from across Europe lay out the challenges to come in their efforts to produce clean base load energy from abundant fuels.

Tony Donné, EUROfusion Programme Manager, said:
"The European fusion community is one of the largest in this field and is well-positioned to deliver fusion breakthroughs - if we work together, we can make the future. Since EUROfusion was established in 2014, fusion R&D has become strongly coordinated. The European Roadmap to Fusion Energy is used to define the research priorities, and this has been fundamental to focus the resources on those challenges that are on the critical path towards a fusion power plant.”
