The ITER International School is organized regularly with the goal of giving young scientists and engineers a taste of the stimulating, multi-disciplinary and challenging field that is nuclear fusion.
Organized for five days around a specific theme, the School offers lectures by leading specialists from research organizations within the ITER Members and from the ITER Organization, stimulating discussion sessions, and the opportunity for students to publicize their own research through poster presentations.
The School is jointly hosted and organized by the Aix-Marseille University and the ITER Organization and alternates between Aix-en-Provence, France, and sites within the ITER Members. There have been 14 editions since 2007 dealing with a wide range of physics and technological issues essential to ITER's success.
The 15th ITER International School will take place in Chengdu, China, from 20 to 24 July 2026 on the subject of "Physics and engineering of heating and current drive systems for magnetic fusion plasmas."
