Governance week

29 Jun 2026

The governing body of the ITER Organization, the ITER Council, just concluded its first regular meeting of 2026.

Chair of the ITER Council Eisuke Tada (Japan), ITER Director-General Pietro Barabaschi, and ITER Deputy Director-General for Science & Technology Yutaka Kamada at the Thirty-Eighth Meeting of the ITER Council in June 2026.

The ITER Council is the highest governing body of the ITER Organization. It represents the seven ITER Members—China, Euratom (European Union), India, Japan, South Korea, Russia, and the United States—and is responsible for the overall direction and oversight of the project.

The Council typically meets in June and November to review construction progress, schedule updates, technical issues, budgets, risks, and recommendations from its advisory committees. These meetings allow the members to make decisions and keep the project aligned with agreed objectives. The ITER Council met on 25 and 26 June for its first 2026 meeting under the chairmanship of Eisuke Tada (Japan). A report will be published in the next ITER Newsline.
