Goede Funding*: Fonds Economische Structuurversterking Introduction ITER-NL is a Dutch consortium, consisting of FOM, TNO (Organisation for Applied Scientific Research), and NRG (Nuclear Research and consultancy Group). The main goals are to create a good entry position for Dutch scientists into the ITER scientific exploitation via delivery of advanced scientific equipment, and to put Dutch industry in a good position to successfully tender on ITER components in the procurement phase. ITER-NL is focused on a substantial Dutch participation in two scientific components: the Upper Port ECRH Launcher (UPL) and the Upper Port CXRS Viewer (UPV). The development of these components is done in the framework of European consortia that need to be formed around the UPL (main players: FZK, CRPP and FOM) and the UPV (main players: FZJ and FOM). Apart from design and R&D work on the above two components, the ITER-NL consortium helps Dutch industry in preparing for ITER, to maximise the chances of successful tendering in the procurement phase. Organisation ITER-NL is led by the Executive Board, consisting of one member of each participating organisation (TNO, NRG, FOM). The programme director is based at TNO. The FOM-Rijnhuizen Executive Board member is Tony Donné. The Executive Board reports to the ITER-NL Council, which consists of two members from each organisation (Hans Chang and Niek Lopes Cardozo representing FOM). The ITER-NL Council has an independent industrial advisor. Work packages The work within ITER-NL is organised in four work packages:  • WP1: Upper Port Viewer, led by Bart Snijders (TNO) • WP2: Upper Port Launcher, led by Marco de Baar (FOM) • WP3: Technology Transfer, led by Renée Pohlmann (TNO) • WP4: Knowledge Transfer, led by Tony Donné (FOM) The first two work packages are focused largely on the first goal of ITER-NL: creating a good scientific entry point for Dutch physicists into ITER. Within FOM-Rijnhuizen, the work on the Upper Port Viewer is done fully in the Instrumentation Development Group, led by Roger Jaspers, who is also part of the leadership of WP1. The work on the Upper Port Launcher is done in the Tokamak Physics Group, led by Marco de Baar. Rijnhuizen has a relatively small effort within the Technology Transfer work package. This work package aims at preparing Dutch industry for successfully tendering in ITER procurement packages. Toon Verhoeven is part of the leadership of this work package, and he is also appointed as ITER Industrial Liaison Officer. WP4 is a relatively small work package that aims to transfer knowledge to industry and to the public, and also to organise political support. More details about the work in WP1 and WP2 can be found in the reports of the Instrumentation Development Group (Section 2.2) and Tokamak Physics Group (Section 2.1), respectively.
