ITER
EU is partner of ITER (International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor), a large-scale experiment designed to prove the scientific and technical viability of fusion as a new energy source, and to take fusion energy to the threshold of industrial exploitation.
ITER is expected to start operations in the South of France in 2025, and could be fully operational in 2035.
2021-2027 budget: €5,61 billion (EU contribution to ITER)

In addition to participating in the international ITER Project, described on this page, the EU develops its other projects for the exploitation of thermonuclear fusion energy within the Horizon Europe Euratom Programme: all EU members states laboratories and industries dealing with thermonuclear fusion are associated in "Fusion for Energy" network".
The European contribution to ITER is under the responsibility of the European joint undertaking Fusion for Energy (F4E) located in Barcelona (Spain) and signed by EU, China, India, Japan, South Korea, Russia and the USA, A bilateral collaboration between the EU and Japan runs in parallel to ITER and aims to accelerate the development of fusion power. Most funding is distributed through calls for tender.

Work programme
Funding opportunities under Horizon Europe are set out in multiannual work programmes, which cover the large majority of support available.
