Given the collaborative nature of this project with the UKAEA, participation in this tender could lead to long-term partnerships and advancements in technology within the fusion energy sector.

## Notice

The UK AEA STEP Porgramme requires focussed effort from external world-leading experts in developing, validating and exploiting state-of-the-art reduced transport models. This is needed to produce state-of-the-art physics-based reduced plasma transport models capable of reliably predicting tokamak performance in the novel plasma turbulence regimes expected to dominate in high b STs.
