15,000 visitors in 2016; close to 115,000 since 2007
Visits at ITER are one of the best ways to establish, and maintain, a close relationship with the public. School children, university students, industrial representatives, members of the general public and government officials—close to 15,000 visitors in all—came on site in 2016, bringing the cumulative number of visitors since 2007 to 114,927.
Visits can be divided into three categories. Educative visits for school children and universities (46 percent), with educational workshops on energy and ITER site biodiversity, are managed by Agence ITER France—an agency of the neighbouring Commissariat à l'énergie atomique (CEA). The rest—visits for the public and the media, as well as VIP visits—are organized by the ITER Organization.
