Although it may seem odd and far-fetched, the developments in nuclear fusion require us to discuss, society-wide, how we deal with this technology. Governments (US, China, Germany, UK) are stepping up in their ambitions and startups worldwide attracted over 7bn’s of funding. How promising is fusion power now? How should we think about large projects and the future energy system? What socio-economical aspects come into play? These are aspects we want to discuss interactively, with speakers and audience.
