ITER Site Visit

Come and visit ITER!

ITER, the world’s largest fusion energy research project, is nestled in the Provence countryside some 40 km north of Aix-en-Provence. We offer 500 conference participants the unique opportunity to join us at the ITER worksite and get first-hand impressions of progress made so far. As a special attraction we will show you some of the giant magnets that have already arrived at ITER.
