At the Horizon EUROfusion event, we will:

- celebrate recent accomplishments like the world fusion energy record announced by EUROfusion researchers earlier this year

- present our research plans that will give the global fusion experiment ITER a flying start

- announce the start of the conceptual design for the European demonstration fusion power plant DEMO. This first-of-a-kind fusion device is due to come into operation around the middle of this century and demonstrate the net production of 300 to 500 megawatts of clean and safe fusion energy to the grid
