Engineering and Systems Integration

The Group of Engineering and Systems Integration is strongly focused on the development of systems for nuclear fusion experiments and in particular for ITER, JET and DEMO, having already several projects in its portfolio. It is the result of the Microwave Diagnostics and Control and Data Acquisition groups merging, with the integration of the Remote Handling activities previously carried out by Experimental Physics Group. The integration of all engineering activities enables answering in a focused, timely, effective and qualified manner to F4E and ITER calls and other contract opportunities for R&D and Innovation activities developed by the EU fusion program.

Group Leader: Bruno Soares Gonçalves

Objectives

Diagnostics for the study of nuclear fusion plasmas
