U.S. IFE Ecosystem
About IFE50
The IFE50 initiative is designed to engage institutions that are currently not involved in inertial fusion energy research.
-
Bring together experts across target physics, drivers, materials, and systems engineering to share progress and address the interdisciplinary challenges required to realize inertial fusion energy. -
Foster collaboration among universities, national laboratories, industry partners, and the Department of Energy to align efforts and accelerate the path toward a viable fusion power plant.
-
Provide opportunities for students and early-career researchers to present their work, engage with leaders in the field, and build connections that will shape the future IFE workforce.
-
Provide valuable opportunities for private-sector fusion companies to showcase innovations, engage with leading researchers, build strategic partnerships, and help accelerate the commercialization of inertial fusion energy.
