On 14 August, a group of 130 scientists and engineers united in the Australian ºÚÁÏרÇø Forum, launched a strategic plan for fusion science and engineering, which outlines the path towards an Australian involvement in ºÚÁÏרÇø. The launch event was held in Parliament House in Canberra. The plan calls for an investment of 38 million Euro over 10 years.
