The high power laser energy research (HiPER) project is initiated by the Council for the Central Laboratory of the Research Councils in United Kingdom and dedicated to the development of carbon-free thermonuclear energy source on base of high power laser driven inertial confinement fusion. The design purpose of HiPER is not only to develop laser-driven inertial confinement fusion technology and make Europe a leading position in the research field of inertial fusion energy, but also to achieve an internationally unique capability in the field of extreme physical state scientific research by means of the extreme experimental conditions provided by HiPER laser device. HiPER, starting from a Pan-European project, has now been becoming an example of global fusion energy research cooperation, which offers us many references. An overall description of current HiPER development status in various aspects such as research background, project planning management, technical progress, external cooperation is presented. A conclusion is made in the end with expectation for providing useful information to the researchers in large laser facilities and fusion energy development.
