Dutch Fusion Day 2025: Advancing Fusion Energy Solutions
Eindhoven, Monday, 7 April 2025.
On May 9, 2025, industry leaders and researchers in Eindhoven focus on groundbreaking fusion energy technologies, promoting sustainable energy progress.
Collaborative Innovation Hub
The event, organized by DIFFER, TU/e-EIRES, and BigScienceNL, will take place in Eindhoven, bringing together key stakeholders in the fusion energy sector [1][3]. The program features focused breakout sessions addressing critical areas including materials in extreme conditions, system and control engineering, and exploring potential fission-fusion synergies [1].
Strategic Focus on Industrial Decarbonization
This gathering comes at a crucial time, as the Netherlands grapples with significant industrial energy challenges. Currently, the industrial sector accounts for approximately 30% of national energy consumption, with 80% of this energy being used for heat generation, primarily from fossil fuel sources [5]. The Dutch Fusion Day aligns with the nation’s ambitious target of achieving CO2-neutral industry by 2050 [5], positioning fusion energy as a potential cornerstone of this transition.
Expert Knowledge Exchange
Attendees will benefit from inspiring keynote presentations delivered by leading experts in fusion energy development [1]. The event will also provide valuable insights into the latest political and commercial developments, including discussions on renewed interest in fission and the potential implementation of national fusion strategies [1]. Through structured networking sessions, participants will have opportunities to forge partnerships and explore collaborative ventures [1].
