Participants to the Australian ITER workshop.
A group of more than 100 scientists and engineers have set up the Australian ITER Forum, which aims to develop the case for an Australian role in ITER, both by participation and by the formation of an International Centre of Research Excellence in Fusion Related Research. With Federal Government support, the Australian forum has scheduled a workshop for October 12-13 this year called "Towards an Australian involvement in ITER", which attracted 80 participants. The workshop highlighted the enthusiasm within the Australian fusion community for establishing closer links to the ITER project and has provided the members of the Forum with a good basis for the identification of possible roles for Australia in relation to ITER.
