ITER Open Doors Days

ITER regularly holds Open Doors Days, which are a great opportunity for the public to see the ITER project first-hand, exchange with ITER specialists, and go on a tour of the massive construction site. A lot is on offer during an ITER Open Doors Day, such as screenings of videos and slideshows, exhibitions, demonstrations, guided tours, chats with ITER experts, and special activities for children. Open Doors Days typically take place twice a year, on Saturdays in spring and autumn. Go to the Event page of the ITER website to sign up for the next Open Doors Day.
