<p>The European Commission's DG ENER (unit D4) has produced two new videos on ITER and fusion. The first (<em>ITER - Technology</em>) focuses on&nbsp;European Union investment in fusion over the years and explains the basic principles of fusion; the second (<em>ITER - Ecology</em>) showcases fusion as a possible future source of clean, efficient and reliable energy.</p> <p><strong>Watch <em>ITER-Technology</em> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f9nW01PBOOQ">here</a>.</strong><br><str… <em>ITER-Ecology</em> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oU-so4BHijk">here</a>.</strong><br><str… all language versions <a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJmEREKFYU8V_7pNwyQkJTgDadD0GbSg… this page</a>.</strong></p>

<p>The B1M, a popular&nbsp;video channel for construction, architecture and engineering, and the Nemetschek Group, a leading software providers for the same industries, named ITER as the Construction Story of the Year award on 2 November 2022 in Munich.</p> <p>The expert judging panel was "particularly impressed by the extraordinary levels of collaboration between the construction team, and the scheme's propensity to inspire future generations of engineers."</p> <p>"ITER is a remarkable project that impressively demonstrates what the construction industry is able to achieve. The team has come together collaborating across international borders working on a massive project scale inspiring this and future generations of engineers and all roles contributing to our built world. The project team has proven that working together knows no bounds—regardless of segment, trade or project size, amazing goals can be realized," said Don Jacob, VP Technology and Innovation, Build &amp; Construct Division at the Nemetschek Group.</p> <p>The Construction Story of the Year program aims to highlight the world's most impressive and inspiring construction stories, seeking out amazing projects, ideas or initiatives that show the best of the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry. It aims particularly to highlight innovation in the construction industry and projects that represent its digital transformation.&nbsp;</p> <p>Read press releases from <a href="https://www.theb1m.com/article/construction-story-year-2022-winner">The B1M</a> and the <a href="https://www.nemetschek.com/en/news-media/better-built-world-nemetschek-… Group</a>.</p> <p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4BkOUOK0XzM">See the video</a> published about ITER by The B1M channel in April 2022.</p> <p><em>--Jens Reich, Head of ITER's Vessel Delivery and Assembly Division (centre) at the ceremony in Munich on 2 November 2022, alongside The B1M founder Fred Mills (left) and Nemetschek's VP of Technology and Innovation, Build and Construct Division, Don Jacob (right).</em></p>

<p>The Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) recently signed an agreement to forge a partnership to strengthen education, training, and outreach programs in nuclear fusion research all over the world.</p> <p>Steve Cowley, PPPL director, and Mikhail Chudakov, IAEA deputy director general and head of the Department of Nuclear Energy, signed the agreement at the 66th IAEA General Conference on Sept. 28 in Vienna.</p> <p>The goal of the program is to help train the next generation of scientists, engineers and technicians who can contribute to develop fusion energy as a clean, green and plentiful source of electricity, Cowley said. The IAEA, which is based in Vienna, is the world organization for intergovernmental cooperation in the nuclear field, with 175 member states.</p> <p><em><strong>See the full announcement on the PPPL <a href="https://www.pppl.gov/news/2022/international-atomic-energy-agency-and-p…; <p>&nbsp;</p>
