Strategic objectives of Association-HAS until 2020

Gabor VeresDeputy HRU, Head of Management

Association’s profile in a nutshell0. About 38 FTE professionals1. An Association of 6 institutions2. High level of integration within the European

fusion programme3. 50-50 percent of physicists and engineers

- Equal interest in fusion physics research and fusion technology development

- Physics part dominated by diagnostic development and measurements

- Engineering part dominated by mechanical design, analysis and electronics

4. (High quality, reasonably priced labour)
