Minister Lenihan to host EU Fusion Energy Exhibition at DCU
6 November 2009

Minister Conor Lenihan, TD, Minister for Science, Technology and Innovation, will launch the EU Fusion Expo on Wednesday 11 November at 10am.

The aim of the exhibition is to promote awareness of Fusion as an energy choice of the future.

The exhibition will be open to the public from 11 to 13 November, and is part of a number of Science Week activities taking place across the university.

It will present various aspects of fusion as an environmentally acceptable, safe and sustainable energy technology. 

It will explain the fundamentals of fusion, describe Europe’s fusion research facilities, introduce the ITER project, and look ahead to the construction of a working fusion power plant.

While the exhibition has been held in cities across Europe, DCU is the first Irish university to host the event.
