Attention to companies of all sizes interested in fusion business opportunities! The European Domestic Agency for ITER Fusion for Energy (F4E) will be hosting Supply Chain Days in Barcelona, Spain, from 30 September to 2 October 2025. Participation is possible in person or online.

Day 1 (30 September) – Contracts Day

Day 2 (1 October) – Sustainability Day

Day 3 (2 October) – SME Day

See all information on the Fusion for Energy website.

The European Fusion Education Network, FuseNet, is organizing the 6th annual European Fusion Teacher Day on 10 October 2025. The goal is to introduce nuclear fusion to secondary school teachers throughout Europe, to discuss teaching nuclear fusion to secondary school students and to create enthusiasm for the field of fusion at the secondary education level.

The event features a domestic session with lectures by local fusion experts on current fusion research in your area, followed by a global livestream during which new (free) educational materials will be presented and keynote speakers from the international fusion community give an inside look into the largest scientific collaboration in the world. Both the domestic and global parts of the event are fully remote.

Participation is open to every science and physics teacher in Europe. Participation is free of charge. All participants will receive a certificate of attendance after the event.

The Clean Air Task Force (CATF) has released an updated version of its Global Fusion Map, a public resource that tracks the rapidly expanding international fusion energy landscape.

The new edition highlights major additions across private-sector projects, government initiatives, research collaborations, and commercial milestones. Designed for policymakers, industry leaders, journalists, and the public, the tool provides a clear picture of how the field is evolving and where activity is concentrated. The map also illustrates the range of fusion approaches under development worldwide—including magnetic confinement, magnetized target fusion, inertial confinement, and field-reversed configuration—while providing insight into project scale by reported investment. 

CATF adds a disclaimer stating that " the map has been compiled from publicly available sources and is not exhaustive."  Access the updated CATF Global Fusion Map here: https://www.catf.us/global-fusion-map/.

Fusion Power Associates (FPA), the US-based non-profit that has been advocating for the development of fusion energy since its founding in 1979, is making a few changes. 

In a letter to FPA members and the broader fusion community, the organization announced that its longtime president and co-founder Stephen O. Dean would be transitioning to the role of President Emeritus and that the organization would be moving from the Washington DC area to be hosted by the University of California San Diego (UC San Diego). Michael Campbell and Farhat Beg, respectively Professor of Practice and Professor in the Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Department at the university, will be taking over as Fusion Power Associates President and Senior Vice President.

Recent developments are contributing to a growing fusion ecosystem in the San Diego area. General Atomics, which operates the DIII-D tokamak for the US Department of Energy and also fabricates target assemblies for inertial fusion, is located just north of the city. (See the story on the completion at General Atomics of the ITER central solenoid is this issue of the ITER Newsline.) The company announced in March that it was collaborating with UCSD on a Fusion Data Science and Digital Engineering Center as part of efforts to fast-track fusion energy development; it is also part of a new research collaborative focused on developing and scaling up inertial fusion power facilities. And at UCSD, a Fusion Engineering Institute was launched last year to focus on some of the engineering challenges that must be addressed for commercially attractive fusion. With a large San Diego delegation planning to visit ITER later this month, we expect to hear more about emerging plans to position San Diego as a fusion R&D hub.

The 2024 ITER Organization Report on Human Resources has just been published.

Follow this link to browse through the report, which offers insight into the human dimension of the ITER Organization through statistics on staffing trends, recruitment, mobility, development, performance, remuneration, and more. It also highlights the growing diversity of the organization—both in terms of professional roles and also in terms of the backgrounds and profiles of ITER staff and their families, who come from more than 30 countries.
