Could fusion, the energy source of the sun and stars, be the energy of the future? Fusion has the potential to provide a safe, cost-efficient and sustainable solution to European and global energy needs. For this reason, the EU is part of one of the most ambitious energy projects in the world, called ITER.

ITER is an international collaboration and a unique project aimed at building the world’s biggest fusion machine. The ITER site is located in southern France.
