Abstract [eng] When it comes to the licensing of novel designs within the current licensing framework, there is a broad agreement on the fact that the differences in definitions, requirements and interpretations of legislations in different countries are not helpful, and a harmonized approach for the licensing of innovative fission and fusion power plants is needed. The EC funded project entitled ″Towards harmonisation in licensing of future nuclear power technologies in Europe″ (HARMONISE) has been working on this issue by employing the expertise of seventeen partners from eleven European States representing public and private sectors, research and industrial domains, as well as regulators and Technical Support Organizations. This paper presents the work performed in the framework of the project, the main directions followed, the challenges encountered and the results obtained. Moreover, the interactions with the stakeholders and their expectations are highlighted.
