 This week, Newsline puts the focus on industrial liaisons marking the fact that the project is transiting from the design to the manufacturing phase. In our featured video we introduce Jacques Farineau, the project's Senior Advisor for Industrial Matters. After a 24 year long career at Airbus Industry in Toulouse, Jacques has gained the kind of experience that is invaluable to ITER: working in a global enterprise that is based on international cooperation and work-sharing agreements.
We also report on Sabine Portier, the French Industry Liaison Officer, one out of 13 industrial interfaces in Europe, and her Deputy Philippe Olivier, who have found a new home in the Agence Iter France premises at CEA-Cadarache. And finally, this week ITER welcomed the German ITER Industry Forum DIIF on site. More than 35 representatives from German companies had come to Cadarache, to be briefed by the various responsible officers and division heads of the ITER project and the procurement department of the European Domestic Agency in Barcelona. This was sort of "speed dating" with ITER, one participant said at the end of the day.

Employees manipulate a length of stainless steel cable jacket at ASIPP, Institute of Plasma Physics, in Hefei, China. This facility was designed to handle 900 metre lengths of superconducting cable for ITER's magnet system. Photo: Peter Ginter
ITER's cryopanels are under development at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology. Researchers have chosen unique coconut-shell charcoal to coat the panels for its ability to 'adsorb' - or attract and retain - waste gases. Photo: Peter Ginter
The roadworks along the 106 kilometre ITER Itinerary are 90% complete. Here in Jouques, cranes work to remove a 40 year old bridge, following the erection of a new, reinforced structure. Photo: La Provence
