ITER is an international experiment that aims to demonstrate the feasibility of large-scale fusion energy

Core values

- **Sustainable Energy**: ITER aims to develop fusion energy, a clean and virtually limitless source of energy, which could significantly reduce dependence on fossil fuels and mitigate climate change[2][4].
- **Economic Benefits**: The project has already generated substantial economic opportunities, with over 400 European companies involved and a total of approximately EUR 4 billion in contracts. It has also created jobs and stimulated business growth[1].
- **Scientific and Technological Advancements**: ITER drives scientific research, supporting over 2,000 research positions and fostering global technology cooperation and innovation[1].
- **Environmental Safety**: The project demonstrates the viability of fusion as a safe and environmentally responsible energy source, with minimal radiological impact on the environment and local populations[5].
- **Global Cooperation**: As an international project involving 35 member states, ITER promotes global cooperation, partnerships, and innovation[1].
