From 13 April to 13 October 2025, the World EXPO will open its gates in Osaka, Japan. As part of the theme “Designing Future Society for Our Lives,” 158 countries and organizations will showcase—in spectacular fashion—their cultural heritage and forward-thinking projects.

As part of the EXPO2025, ITER will have a prominent presence in the International Organizations Pavilion, where we will present the promise of fusion energy and the global collaboration that drives our pursuit of this transformative energy source.

Half-way through the six-month exhibition, on 13 July, ITER will host a special FUSION DAY in the National Day Hall with presentations, animations and video screenings.

If you are interested to visit the ITER exhibit or if you would like to attend the Special Fusion Day, please write to EXPO2025@iter.org.

We very much look forward to seeing you in Osaka.

Sign up before 1 April 2025 for this year's ITER International School on the topic of "Integrated Modelling in Magnetic Fusion Plasmas." The school will take place in Aix-en-Provence, France, from 30 June to 4 July 2025.

The scientific program, with 15 lectures and a half-day planned at ITER, is now available on the School's website. The deadline for pre-registration & abstract submission is 1 April 2025.

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.

Visit the IBF/25 website for more information.

All interested parties are also welcome at the second Private Sector Fusion Workshop, to be hosted at the ITER site right before IBF/25, on 22-23 April 2025 (priority will be given to participation by private sector fusion initiatives). See all information on this website.

From 19-20 February 2025 the historic city of Aachen, Germany—the main residence of Charlemagne—hosted the first binding.energy¹ conference, an international gathering on nuclear technology. Around 130 experts, 50 of them online, joined the discussions on the latest advancements in both fission and fusion technologies.

Organized by the German company Actimondo, the conference provided a platform to share views on challenges and opportunities in nuclear technology such as material science, political strategy, private sector growth, regulatory framework, emerging markets, supply chain development, radiation protection, as well as workforce development and education.

ITER’s Deputy Director Alain Becoulet presented a comprehensive project update. At its stand in the small exhibition area, ITER was joined by FuseNet whose Executive Officer Dario Cruz also presented education opportunities for young fusion experts in Europe.

¹The name of the conference, binding.energy, stems from a phenomenon in physics which describes the smallest amount of energy required to remove a particle from a system of particles.
