The plan forward for EU DEMO

In the preparation for the Concept Design Phase and a new European Framework Programme starting in 2021, EUROfusion developed a DEMO project charter, consisting of updates to the project governance and the high level objectives, schedule and scope of work. This proposal, together with the more detailed proposals covering the scope of system design and technology R&D across the breadth of the DEMO project, forms the plan forward for DEMO and was submitted as input for approval to the first DEMO gate review (G1). Following the successful completion of the gate and the associated recommendations provided, the plan forward was modified accordingly. This paper details the principle elements of the implementation and organisation of the DEMO design and R&D activities in the Concept Design Phase.
