      abstract     = {The PREFER (Polarization REsearch for Fusion Experiments
                      and Reactors) collaboration wasborn to address the know-how
                      in different fields and techniques to the challenging bet on
                      fusionenergy production with polarized fuel. Efforts are
                      focused on a variety of tasks and objectives,which are under
                      the responsibility of different institutes.Starting from
                      open questions in the fusion reaction physics, such as the
                      study of d-d spin-dependent cross sections to measurements
                      of nuclear polarization conservation in laser-inducedfusion
                      plasmas, there is still unexplored territory to discover.
                      The collaboration aims to producenuclear-spin polarized
                      molecules, recombined from polarized atomic beams, and their
                      condensationand transport, or explore new a possibility by
                      the resonance (“Sona”) transition technique
                      whichpromises sufficient intensity for the feeding of fusion
                      reactors.Other options of production are investigated, like
                      nuclear-spin polarization of molecules by laseror microwave
                      excitation. The presentation provides the status of
                      proposals and investigations inthe European community.},
