The Contribution of Experimental Energy Facilities to the Achievement of SDG in their Environment: The Case of IFMIF-DONES

Scientific infrastructures are known to have a deep impact from two main perspectives: the finality they were designed to, and other collateral impacts like changes in the economic geographic land where they are settled. However, the effects from other perspectives like social evolution and contribution to Sustainable Development have not been studied in depth yet. In this work, the effects of the implementation of the "International Fusion Materials Irradiation Facility – Demo Oriented NEutron Source" (IFMIF-DONES) in a rural area in the Southern Spain will be discussed.
