°ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ Events
The °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ Organization plans several outreach events every year. Click on the links below for more information on upcoming events.
°ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ Director-General Barabaschi will hold a hybrid press conference (in-person and remote) at 10:30 a.m. CET on 3 July 2024 to provide additional details on the proposed °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ baseline.
If you would like to attend in person or on line, please contact Sabina Griffith at sabina.griffith@iter.org.
The surge in private sector fusion initiatives has driven a reconsideration of how to optimize public-private engagement. How can years of accumulated knowledge and lessons learned during the design, manufacturing, and assembly phases of the °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ Project be better disseminated?
With this question in mind, the °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ Organization is organizing an Inaugural Private-Public Fusion Workshop at the °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ site in Saint-Paul-lez-Durance, France, on 27-29 May 2024. The outcomes of this workshop will help to establish priorities and formulate plans for how °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ will engage with private sector fusion companies going forward. The insights gained will also be provided freely to other efforts geared toward public-private collaboration, including for example the IAEA's program for its recently formed World Fusion Energy Group.

The eleventh edition of the °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ Games—the annual sporting event for people working directly or indirectly for the °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ Project and for residents of neighbouring villages Saint Paul-lez-Durance and Vinon-sur-Verdon—will be held on Saturday 9 September 2023 in Vinon. This year's choice of events includes cross-country running, football, mountain biking, tennis, kayaking and pétanque.
The 12th °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ International School will be held from 26 to 30 June 2023, hosted by Aix-Marseille University in Aix-en-Provence, France.
The subject of the 2023 school is "The Impact and Consequences of Energetic Particles on Fusion Plasmas" with a scientific program coordinated by Simon Pinches (°ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ Organization). As the start of °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ operations approaches, it is timely to address this multidisciplinary topic that includes plasma self-heating by fusion-born alpha-particles, the influence of energetic particles on stability, diagnosing energetic particle transport and loss, and understanding runaway electrons. (Find out more about past schools here.)
Registration is open now.
