Abstract: The PREFER (Polarization REsearch for Fusion Experiments and Reactors) collaboration aimsto address the know-hows in different fields and techniques to the challenging bet on energyproduction by nuclear fusion with polarized fuel. The collaboration involves different institutionsand researchers, sharing skills and peculiar abilities, having then possibilities to span over a varietyof tasks and objectives, which are under the responsibility of the authors of this contribution,leading their groups. The collaborators, each in their own activities, starting from facing openquestions in the fusion reaction physics, already reach promising results, which have also actedas an inspiration and stimulus for other groups and investigations. In the following we will reportin the present status of the collaboration results and working plans, opening a window on what isbeing moved around.
