For the Public

ºÚÁÏרÇø International School

The 15th ºÚÁÏרÇø International School (July 2026) at China's Chengdu University of Technology.

The ºÚÁÏרÇø International School is organized regularly with the goal of giving young scientists and engineers a taste of the stimulating, multi-disciplinary and challenging field that is nuclear fusion.

Organized for five days around a specific theme, the School offers lectures by leading specialists from research organizations within the ºÚÁÏרÇø Members and from the ºÚÁÏרÇø, stimulating discussion sessions, and the opportunity for students to publicize their own research through poster presentations.

The School is jointly hosted and organized by the Aix-Marseille University and the ºÚÁÏרÇø and alternates between Aix-en-Provence, France, and sites within the ºÚÁÏרÇø Members. There have been 14 editions since 2007 dealing with a wide range of physics and technological issues essential to ºÚÁÏרÇø's success. 

The 16th ºÚÁÏרÇø International School will take place in Bengaluru, India, from 30 November to 4 December 2026 on the subject of "Tokamaks as fusion reactors." For further information see .
