21th IAEA Fusion Energy Conference
Recognizing the prominent role that nuclear energy plays in the world
, and based on the expectation that nuclear fusion will be able to provide
an abundant source of energy, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)
supports the exchange of scientific and technical information on fusion
research through conferences, meetings and projects. The 21st
IAEA Fusion Energy Conference (FEC 2006) provides a forum for presenting
and discussing the progress that is being made in fusion experiments,
theory and technological developments. It is expected that t he progress
in the establishment of ITER since the last Fusion Energy Conference will
put more emphasis on the physics and technology R&D aspects in the
realization of fusion as a clean and lasting energy source.

Launching Conference of the European Technology Platform for Biofuels
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES
The Commission takes an ambitious and co-ordinated approach to promote
the use of biomass and biofuels. The approach includes a Biomass Action
Plan, an EU strategy for Biofuels, and the support to the establishment
of a European Biofuels Technology Platform.
The European Biofuels Technology Platform is a focused initiative in
the frame of research on renewable energy sources. It aims to develop
cost-competitive, world class biofuel technology, contribute to the creation
of a European biofuels industry and accelerate the deployment of biofuels.
To prepare the Technology Platform, a high-level Advisory Council has
been established. The Biofuels Research Advisory Council (BIOFRAC) has
delivered its draft Vision report “Biofuels
in the European Union - A Vision for 2030 and beyond”. This report
outlines the current situation of biofuels and presents a long-term view
on how to overcome the technical and non-technical barriers for biofuel
deployment in the European Union and worldwide.
The aim of this conference, organised by the European Commission with
the support of the Biofuels Research Advisory Council (BIOFRAC), is to
present the major conclusions outlined in the BIOFRAC’s vision report
“Biofuels in the European Union – a vision for 2030 and beyond”, and to
officially launch the European Biofuels Technology Platform.

European Technology Platform “SmartGrids”
Electricity Networks of the Future
Launching event & First General Assembly
This conference, organised by the European Commission, aims to present
the Technology
Platform’s Electricity Networks of the Future Vision and the
first version of the Strategic Research Agenda, discuss it with a wide
audience, and seek to validate and achieve consensus on its recommendations.
Furthermore, the event will help the Technology Platform to monitor its
own progress and define the work plan for the next period. Finally, the
conference will facilitate the dissemination of results of running projects,
the alignment of on-going activities with the Technology Platform objectives
and the exchange of ideas for new public-private initiatives.
The conference is designed to attract high-level participants from the
spheres of research, science and technology, industry and policy-making
from all over Europe. Therefore, this event is of special value for those
interested in defining the way forward for the area ‘Smart Electricity
Networks’ in the Seventh Framework Programme.

EU research in reactor safety : FISA 2003
Since the late 1970’s regulatory authorities and electricity utilities
have embarked on a wide-ranging review of nuclear plant performance and
safety requirements. With a cumulative global experience of around 10
000 reactor-years operators have learned much about improving safety.
On 10 November Europe's nuclear safety community will gather in Luxembourg
for the fifth biennial FISA conference. The European Union has played
a major role in the international safety improvement effort and the conference
will present the conclusion of the projects funded in the area of ‘operational
safety of existing installations’ – one of the key actions
of the Fifth Euratom Framework Programme (FP5). The conference will focus
on the application of phenomenological research to plant life management
and accident mitigation techniques for present and future reactor technologies.
FISA 2003 will also be the first opportunity for the Commission to access
the wider European nuclear safety research community since the launch
of FP6 and assess the reaction of all parties to the aims and instruments
of the new Euratom programme. Plenary lecture will be delivered by about
the FP-6 proposals selected for negotiation.
The event will also give the opportunity to hear about new avenues for
research and for networking activities aimed at strengthening cooperation
within the international reactor safety research community.
>> Further information on FISA 2003 including detailed Programme
for the event can be found here.
