SOFT
In September, the 34th Symposium on Fusion Technology takes place in Aix-en-Provence, France. SOFT 2026 will once again bring together the global fusion community scientists, engineers, industry representatives, and exhibitors to share the latest results and breakthroughs across all areas of fusion technology. The conference will include invited talks, oral and poster presentations, and a large industry and technology exhibition. It will offer a unique opportunity for teams working on fusion experiments, test facilities, component development, materials science, and high-level design studies to meet, exchange ideas, and move forward together.
Big Science Business Forum
We are organising the Big Science Business Forum in Maastricht, the last week of October.
The aim is to give you the opportunity in your home country to connect with 20 Big Science Organisations, large and small and find out in two days in direct conversations with them whether your competences are a match for their needs and to determine whether it is worthwhile to invest in a relationship with them and start bidding for contracts. In addition, there are over 200 companies from Europe, who have similar interests and could be potential partners for collaborations in these Big Science tenders.
