The seven Members of the international ITER project have all created Domestic Agencies to act as the liaison between national governments and the ITER Organization. In the case of the European Union, the European Domestic Agency serves as the link between the European Commission and the ITER Organization.
The Domestic Agencies' role is to handle the procurement of each Member's in-kind contributions to ITER. The Domestic Agencies employ their own staff and have their own budget, and place contracts with suppliers. They are responsible for organising and carrying out the procurement for each ITER Member.
The Domestic Agencies are also the contact points for ITER Organization job postings.
