The 16th ������ International School on the topic of "Tokamaks as Fusion Reactors" will be held from 30 November 2026 to 4 December 2026. The school is jointly organized by Institute for Plasma Research (IPR), Bhat, Gandhinagar, Gujarat and The International Center for Theoretical Sciences – Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (ICTS-TIFR), Bengaluru, in collaboration with ������ Organization and Aix Marseille University, France. The school will be hosted at ICTS-TIFR, Bengaluru. 

The ������ International School aims to prepare young scientists and engineers for working in the field of nuclear fusion and in research applications associated with the ������ project. The 16th edition will cover a broad range of topics related to tokamak fusion reactors’ physics and technologies, such as plasma confinement, heat and particle exhaust, integrated control and operation, integrated modelling and digital twins, plasma-materials interaction, superconducting magnets technology, neutron shielding, and tritium breeding.

The ������ Organization and the European agency for ������, Fusion for Energy, will be hosting free tours of the ������ construction site for the general public on Saturday 5 December 2026 from 9:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Registration will open on Tuesday 10 November. All information will be posted in this space.

The 4th ������ Public-Private Fusion Workshop will bring together the public and private fusion communities to strengthen collaboration across the global fusion ecosystem.

As fusion enters a new phase of development, the challenges facing the field are increasingly shared. The workshop will provide a forum for participants to exchange perspectives on what is needed to move from scientific and technological progress toward the construction and operation of future fusion facilities. 

• Engineering challenges
• Industrial capabilities
• Workforce development
• Facilities and partnerships needed to accelerate progress 

Building on ������'s unique experience as the world's largest fusion project, discussions will explore how knowledge, expertise, and lessons learned can most effectively benefit the wider fusion community, while also identifying areas where cooperation among public institutions, academia, industry, and private ventures can be further strengthened.

As in 2025, the 2027 ������ Public-Private Fusion Workshop will take place just a few days ahead of the , which will be held in Mandelieu on the French Riviera. Taken together, the two events will provide the opportunity for the fusion community to exchange knowledge, build connections, and explore new partnerships—bringing scientific, technological, industrial, and business perspectives together within a single week.

Registration will open in late November on the ������ website. Watch this space for all information.

The 2027 ������ Business Forum will take place from 14 to 16 April 2027 at the Congress Expo Center of Mandelieu, France (French Riviera).

​The IBF program offers many opportunities for networking:

⟢ Learn about ������ status and future calls for tender

⟢ Learn about the industrial capabilities of the fusion supply chain

⟢ Cement new cooperation and partnerships

Registration opens in September 2026.
