Review of the current research conducted within Finnish-Russian-German collaboration using HENDES detector system is presented together with a brief description of the experimental set-up. The main topics include fusion-fission reactions induced by heavy ions, low energy fission, ternary fission and precise mass distributions in the very asymmetric mass region from proton and deuteron induced fission on uranium and thorium.
