Wendelstein 7-X Call for Proposals
OP 2.4 (Sep. 2026 to Dec. 2026) and OP 2.5 (Feb. 2027 to April 2027)
For the preparation of the experimental programme of the operation campaigns OP 2.4 and OP 2.5, we are pleased to invite you to submit experimental proposals. Submission of proposals will be possible in the period March 1st – April 24th, 2026.
Please note that any open proposals submitted for previous experiment campaigns will not be carried forward or considered for these cycles. Consequently, all proponents are kindly requested to submit new proposals that align with the current technical capabilities and the specific scheduling of the upcoming campaigns. We look forward to a productive experimental period that continues to advance the physics basis for steady-state stellarator fusion.
