The European Domestic Agency Fusion for Energy (F4E) is calling for fusion technology transfer demonstrator proposals before 30 June 2025.

Open to European companies and research organizations, the call aims to support projects that propose to take fusion breakthroughs into new markets. Proposals will be evaluated on the feasibility of the demonstrator project, its innovation potential, and socio-economic impact.

Proposals should describe the further use or adaptation of a technology or skill developed under F4E activities into a new product or service in non-fusion applications. The Call invites entities from the fusion sector (F4E's Industrial Partners) and the non-fusion sector to submit proposals.

The selected proposal will receive up to EUR 50,000 to aid with implementation. See this webpage for all details.

Applications are open for the 2026 EUROfusion Bernard Bigot Researcher Grants funding individual post-doctoral research projects for two years starting in 2026. The grants will contribute to the salaries, research and training activities of up to nine outstanding early-career researchers. With this grant, EUROfusion encourages excellence and career development of researchers who are already in the fusion program and aims to attract high-quality potential candidates from outside fusion research.

Eligibility:

* Researchers and engineers of all nationalities in possession of a doctoral degree (PhD) who have completed the PhD and defended their thesis in the two years preceding the application deadline.
* The candidate must be employed by a EUROfusion Consortium member or one of their Affiliated Entities during the grant period. Interested candidates should jointly prepare their application with an institute(s) affiliated with EUROfusion, who will submit the application and offer to employ the candidate for the proposed duration of the project.

Apply by 12 May 2025. For all details, application documents, and deadlines see this webpage.

The international ITER Business Forum (IBF/25) offers the opportunity to connect with global enterprises and create valuable business partnerships in fusion energy. Meet key players in the fusion supply chain—from companies and startups, to innovators shaping the global landscape. Approximately 850 people from 360 companies are currently registered and the industrial exhibition is sold-out (see the list of exhibitors here).

Join them in Marseille, France, from 23 to 25 April 2025 by signing up at this link.

The second ITER Private Sector Fusion Workshop will take place at ITER Headquarters in France on 22-23 April 2025.  

The aim of the workshop is threefold: to help the private sector best take advantage of ITER's new mechanisms for knowledge sharing and collaboration; to understand who is doing what to solve the remaining fusion technology challenges; and to highlight the capacities of the global fusion supply chain.

An updated program has just been published on the workshop website. Registration closes on Friday 11 April 2025. 

There is also still time to sign up for the ITER Business Forum (IBF/25) through 23 April on this website. The two events are highly complementary.
