ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ International School

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

The ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ 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 ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ Members and from the ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ Organization, 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 ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ Organization and alternates between Aix-en-Provence, France, and sites within the ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ Members. There have been 14 editions since 2007 dealing with a wide range of physics and technological issues essential to ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ's success. 

The 16th ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ 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 .
