Dear Colleagues, Cadarache in the south of France has been chosen as the site for the ITER fusion experiment. The deal must still be ratified by member parliaments, and funding has to be identified, but this is an important step. After the International Space Station, ITER would be the largest global research and development collaboration and therefore could serve as a model for the ILC. Details can be found at the following sites (among others).
