EFDA (European Fusion Development Agreement)

The European Fusion Development Agreement (EFDA) was an organization that coordinated Europe's efforts to develop fusion energy—an innovative, potentially limitless source of clean power that replicates how the sun produces energy. EFDA brought together researchers, industries, and institutions to work on plasma physics, reactor design, and other fusion technologies, aiming to advance scientific understanding and build experimental facilities like ITER. Its goal was to make fusion a viable and sustainable energy source for future generations, contributing to Europe's leadership in clean energy research and development. EFDA played a key role in uniting efforts towards practical nuclear fusion.
