![]() ![]() ![]() ITER, as an example of science diplomacy, was invited to take part. More than 80 people from 22 countries attended, including scientists, diplomats, and research and innovation officials. On 3 October in Barcelona, Spain, UfM and the European Union co-organized the Euro-Mediterranean Conference on Science Diplomacy, with the aim of highlighting the state of science diplomacy in the Mediterranean as well as obstacles and opportunities. ![]() The Union for the Mediterranean (UfM) is an intergovernmental organization that brings together 43 countries to strengthen regional cooperation and dialogue through specific projects and initiatives that address inclusive and sustainable development, stability and integration in the Euro-Mediterranean area. See further details on the SOFT Prize website. The deadline to submit applications is 16 January 2024. Participants are free to submit an application concerning any physics or technology innovation that has been developed in magnetic confinement fusion research and that has market potential or has been taken up (or recognized) by industry to be further developed for the market.Įntries will be assessed on originality and replicability, technical excellence, economic impact, exploitation, and plans for further development. Proposals are studied by an independent jury composed of experts in technology transfer, from business and academia. There are no specific categories for this prize. Following the success of the previous editions, the European Commission is holding the contest again in conjunction with SOFT 2024 (23-27 September 2024, Dublin, Ireland). SOFT stands for Symposium on Fusion Technology-the name of conference where the prize is awarded. ![]() It is intended for researchers and/or industrial actors who find new solutions, possibly with wider applications, to the challenges of fusion. The SOFT Innovation Prize rewards outstanding achievements in fusion energy research showcasing opportunities of valorization in the sector. This drive lay the basis the conditions for innovation, much of which can be exploited in other sciences and industrial sectors for the benefit of society. Fusion researchers are constantly challenging the scientific state of the art and improving the technology. ![]()
