We are pleased to announce the launch of an online web-shop, the ITER Boutique: https://shop-iter.org/.

Here you will be able to order ITER-branded clothing, office items, travel accessories and more for delivery to your home or address of choice. Boutique products range from simple pens and umbrellas to a mug featuring the Grad-Shafranov fusion equation, T-shirts illustrating the deuterium-tritium fusion reaction or the architecture of the ITER tokamak, and tote bags and water bottles featuring ITER-specific slogans and technical details.

The boutique is operated by an ITER contractor, Synneo. Questions about products and services can be addressed to their experts, here.  Over time, we will add more items to the inventory.

Many of our followers have requested such a shop in the past. We hope you will enjoy showing your support with ITER-branded merchandise.

In December 2024 Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, and Viola Amherd, President of the Swiss Confederation in 2024, confirmed the completion of negotiations on a broad package of agreements that aim to “deepen and expand the EU-Switzerland relationship.”

As part of the agreements, Switzerland will participate in all three pillars of Horizon Europe (the European Union's key funding program for research and innovation) and the Euratom research and training program. It is under this latter program that Switzerland participated in the ITER project through the European Joint Undertaking for ITER (Fusion for Energy) from 2014 to 2020.

The restart of Switzerland's association to the Horizon Europe, Digital Europe, and Euratom Research and Training programs is foreseen in 2025, subject to the signature of the agreement on Union programs. Switzerland's participation in Fusion for Energy is foreseen to start from 2026, and in Erasmus+ from 2027.

Switzerland will again become a full member of Fusion for Energy, taking part in its governance and allowing Swiss companies and research centres to participate in ITER.

The 14th ITER International School (IIS) will be held from 30 June to 4 July in Aix-en-Provence, France, hosted by Aix-Marseille University. The subject of the school is "Integrated Modelling in Magnetic Fusion Plasmas."

Reliable predictions of ITER plasmas—spanning the entire cross-section from the plasma core and scrape-off layer (SOL) to the material surface—are critical for achieving ITER’s fusion power demonstration goals. Such predictions are indispensable for defining and preparing plasma operational scenarios, analyzing the plasma pulses planned for ITER, and evaluating required control schemes via simulations of measurements, actuators, and plasma responses. Given the strongly nonlinear coupling of the processes that govern the behavior of burning plasmas, modeling individual processes or plasma regions in an isolated fashion is not sufficient. A holistic, integrated approach is therefore mandatory. The 2025 school will address these needs and explore the integrated modeling capabilities and validation aspects on existing facilities necessary to prepare ITERs operation and to support ITER’s broader scientific objectives.

All information about IIS 2025 is available at this address.

The ITER Business Forum 2025 (IBF/25) will take place in Marseille, France from 23 to 25 April 2025.

Through plenary sessions, workshops, and B2B meetings, expand your network and meet key players in the fusion supply chain, from regional and international companies to innovators shaping the future of energy. Get the latest on the ITER baseline and procurement opportunities, and meet representatives of the private fusion sector and its supply chain needs.

A general overview of the agenda is available now and includes 16 themed workshops bringing together experts from many different horizons. For supply chain companies, the Forum offers the opportunity to learn about a broader range of procurement needs. For startups, it enables concentrated access to a global set of companies with fusion-specific capabilities.

Registration is open now. For industrial exhibitors, the deadline for registration is 28 March 2025.
