Minimal procedure to join the fusion research with EFDA

Non – EFDA Call- Collaboration with a principal fusion centre (preferable, not mandatory)- Contact the Topical Group Leader- Write the proposal as for Scientific Assessment and - Submit the project to the MEdC Association via Steering Committee

EFDA Call- Formulate the proposal within the EFDA requests

- get familiar with the work of other possible participants- add publications, details

- Evaluate the PPY (cost + duration)- Evaluate the need for preferential support- Send to MEdC Association- Don’t expect miracles

International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor

Site: Cadarache (France)First plasma : 2018Cost: unknownHigh commitment: Europe, Japan, China, Korea, India, Russia, USA

European Domestic Agency for Fusion, F4E (Barcelona)

ITER main components

R&D projects in support of ITER

F4E calls usually lead to Consortia of Association

Procedure to join a project for ITER

-Watch the F4E calls-Strong connection with a major team in that field- Proposal sent in bilateral form to collaborators- Creation of a Consortium of Association- Work for the Project to be submitted to F4E- Expect hard competition

The Association MEdC is never informed by F4E about a Call.Participation to F4E can be made :

1. via the Association (in Consortia)2. on institutional “individual” basis

Two projects: Nuclear Data (via IFIN-HH) and ITER Tritium Plant (IO) ICSI via Association MEdC

(*) Fusion is approx. 90% of Euratom budget

Visits of two experts (16 – 17 june 2009)Negociation of Association’ s WP : September 2009JET: no experimental Campaigns during Enhancements

• Strong orientation of activities toward ITER• Apply for F4E projects• Budget of Associations will probably be half in 2010 compared with 2009 (*)• Severe reduction of Baseline and JET Notifications in 2010
