As Director-General of the ITER Organization, Pietro Barabaschi has the occasion to meet with representatives of the ITER Members on site, for example during biannual ITER Council meetings, but also travels abroad to make sure he is available to stakeholders to answer questions directly about the status of the project.

Last week he was in Russia, where he visited with Alexey Likhachev, Director General of Rosatom on 8 October, and his team. They discussed the progress of the international efforts to construct the ITER project, focusing specifically on Russia's commitments to manufacturing and delivering equipment. The press conference that followed the meeting was widely covered on Russian TV.

Mr Barabaschi also visited some of the institutes closely involved with procurement and manufacturing for ITER—the Efremov Institute of Electrophysical Apparatus (JSC "NIIEFA"), the Ioffe Physical-Technical Institute (FTI) of the Russian Academy of Sciences in St. Petersburg, and the Troitsk Laboratory Complex.

Finally, he sat down for an interview on the history and future of the ITER project with Sergey Brilev, president of The Global Energy Association—an association that supports research and innovation in the field of energy and promotes energy cooperation. You can watch the full interview here.
