Description

The 32nd European Fusion Programme Workshop (EFPW32) will take place in Granada, Spain, at the Hotel Luna, from 28th January 2025 to 30th January 2025 with the possibility of Video Conference

The title of the workshop is “Nuclear technology and nuclear physics for fusion power plants”.

The STAC has agreed on the following session topics:
