Europe has always been at the forefront in fusion research and technology. For drawing the EU path to fusion commercialisation and for building up a world-leading industrial capability in fusion technology it is vital for the EU to capitalise on the experience gained from the JET and other fusion activities to date, including the current EUROfusion - Realising Fusion Energy, ITER - the way to new energy and BROADER APPROACH programmes. It is important to reflect on funding and regulatory needs and to discuss cooperation mechanisms between the governments, laboratories and industry. As a part of the ongoing common process with Directorate-General for Research and Development towards creating an agile policy framework for fusion research and innovation, Directorate-General for Energy invites the key fusion stakeholders to Brussels to discuss the current state of fusion in the EU and the ways to foster acceleration in fusion development. This discussion should seek concrete actions and recommendations for the European Commission and the EU countries to develop joint winning strategies and to build a thriving European ecosystem.
