ITER enjoyed a successful week at the 70th IAEA General Conference as it was able to present its accelerated progress while strengthening ties across the fusion energy ecosystem. Among the highlights were Director-General Pietro Barabaschi’s participation in the “lessons learned” session on fusion energy, Head of Communications Deepti Choubey’s update on the project to the General Conference, a side meeting between Director-General Barabaschi and IAEA Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi, Director-General Barabaschi’s bilateral outreach to ITER Members, and the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding between the ITER Organization and China Fusion Energy Co., Ltd. to enhance fusion research. And, of course, the famous ITER “tokamak” donuts were once again a big hit!
