IRIS (International, Research, Investment & Skills) is a UKAEA package within Fusion Futures. It brings together activities for international fusion collaboration, research, investment, and skills growth. Its named components include FOSTER, the skills sub-program, along with the Technology Transfer Hub, International Computing, and Fusion Concepts in Future Energy Landscapes.
UKAEA reports that during 2024–2026 the Technology Transfer Hub announced one joint venture, started 36 innovation projects, created two spinouts, and issued 11 open-source software licenses and three software trial licenses. Separately, UKAEA says FOSTER engaged more than 1,000 people in its skills drive. These are reported outputs of IRIS components.
