1. Strategic objectives of Association-HAS until 2020 Gabor Veres Deputy HRU, Head of Management

2. Association’s profile in a nutshell 0. About 38 FTE professionals 1. An Association of 6 institutions 2. High level of integration within the European fusion programme 3. 50-50 percent of physicists and engineers - Equal interest in fusion physics research and fusion technology development - Physics part dominated by diagnostic development and measurements - Engineering part dominated by mechanical design, analysis and electronics 4. (High quality, reasonably priced labour)

3. Our expertise (I - physics) Li-BES edge turbulence measurements on various devices (JET, TEXTOR, AUG, COMPASS) Li-beam installation and upgrade/development (JET, TEXTOR, AUG, COMPASS) BES core turbulence measurements (MAST, KSTAR) Fast, inteligent video camera development (W7-X, AUG, COMPASS) Fast measurements of pellet-plasma interaction and ELM dynamics (JET, AUG)

4. Our expertise (II - engineering) ITER bolometer tomography (LOS design and optimization, thermo-mechanical analysis) TBM design Ancillary system, engineering analysis, HELOKA design ITER VIS/IR diagnostics design (cooling system of mirrors and the „box”) Retractable tube design and BES measurement on ITER CXRS

5. Our expertise (III - DEMO) Blanket and divertor system studies Materials: 1)ODS steel development 2)Irradiations (3 irradiation rigs in Budapest Reserach Reactor) 3)Close collaboration with Gen IV programme

6. Key objectives  Provision of auxiliary systems for the fusion reactor (diagnostics, blanket, etc.) CAD design FEM analysis (mechanical, thermo-mechanical, thermo- hydaulic, neutronic) Irradiation tests (neutron and gamma) Detector and optical design  Experimental study of plasma turbulence and transient phenomena GAMs and turbulence ELMs and their mitigation Pellet-plasma interaction Fast particle-wave interaction
