EUROfusion E-TASC General Meeting

11 Nov 2024, 13:00 → 15 Nov 2024, 12:00 Europe/Berlin

D2 Conference Room (Max Planck IPP)

The General Meeting provides an opportunity to collectively deliberate on key issues that shape both the present operations and the strategic direction of the E-TASC. The discussions will focus on several core themes:

• Enhancing networking across various TSVVs and Thrusts
• Developing strategies to maximize the impact of ACHs
• Guaranteeing the timely release and readiness of simulation tools by the end of 2025
• Considering potential modifications to the TSVV/ACH objectives and portfolios after 2025

The meeting is structured to include plenary sessions as well as parallel breakouts, offering extensive opportunities for thorough inter-project engagements. If you have any pressing topics you believe warrant global E-TASC attention or wish to suggest a specialized discussion group, please notify us as soon as possible. Your input is vital in refining our agenda and ensuring it addresses the interests of all contributors.
