Home / Open Call for Fusion Technology Transfer Demonstrator Proposals
As part of the efforts to facilitate the use of fusion technologies and know-how, EUROfusion and Fusion for Energy launch every year an Open Call for Fusion Technology Transfer Demonstrator Projects to support the integration of fusion solutions in non-fusion markets.
Open to European companies and laboratories, this funding opportunity aims at supporting projects where a fusion technology or know-how is planned to be used in a non-fusion environment.
The applications will be evaluated according to criteria mainly related to feasibility of the demonstrator project, its innovation potential and its socio-economic impact on the company and its ecosystem.
The demonstrator project shall address technological barriers. The non-fusion application foreseen shall not promote activities, or be related to the military, alcohol, tobacco, religion, politics, intolerance, violence, firearms, pornography, obscenity, gambling or illegal drugs.
Details of applicants’ eligibility criteria (location, etc.), the duration of the project and the amount of the grant will be set out in the documents relating to the calls for projects, which can be downloaded from the section below.
Application documents for the F4E Demonstration Call 2024 will be added soon.

Casting mold materials made of Tungsten fibre Composites (Wf/W) for high-temperature die casting
Invented to suppress the propagation of cracks at the surface of wall targets in fusion, tungsten fibres materials could increase the lifetime of molds in die casting applications.
Protective tungsten-based coatings for combustion chamber for aerospace applications
Studied for the plasma-wall interaction in the presence of high thermal loads in fusion, the deposition of thick tungsten and high melting point materials coatings have been adopted to manufacture protective coatings for combustion chamber for aerospace applications
Tungsten alloys for extended life corona discharge electrodes
Several W-based alloys have been investigated for application at the blanket first-wall of DEMO. This promising materials along new coating technologies have been considered to increase the lifetime of corona discharge electrode for applications in surface cleaning, air treatment and cooling electronics.
Towards a better rationalization of fibre optics manufacturing
Developed to carry out truly statistical multi-physics investigations based on the analysis of thousands of tokamak discharges, auto-adaptive algorithms have been implemented for a new concept of high speed and in-line optical fiber quality control.
