Cet événement se déroulera principalement en anglais.On September 21st, EPFL will celebrate the 30th anniversary of its flagship experiment, the Tokamak à Configuration Variable (TCV). Operated by the Swiss Plasma Center as part of the EUROfusion Consortium, it is one of the key European facilities for the ITER project, which aims to demonstrate the scientific and technological feasibility of fusion as an energy source, and the development of DEMO, whose objective is to prove its commercial feasibility. The TCV Tokamak represents a major asset in the global effort to develop fusion and integrate Switzerland into the European research area. Program: 2:30 pm : TCV guided tours4:00 pm :  Doors opening4:30 pm : Introduction              Ambrogio Fasoli, Swiss Plasma Center Director & Associate Vice President for Research4:35 pm : Welcome words               Martin Vetterli, President of EPFL4:45 pm : Political stakeholders speeches               To be confirmed5:05 pm : History of the TCV Tokamak               Basil Duval, Senior Scientist & TCV Technology Leader5:25 pm : Some salient TCV results                Stefano Coda, Senior Scientist & TCV Project Leader5:55 pm : Future perspectives               Sophie Gorno, Doctoral Assistant and Christian Theiler, Professor6:15 pm : External scientific talks               To be confirmed6:25 pm : Conclusion               Ambrogio Fasoli, Swiss Plasma Center Director & Associate Vice President for Research6:30 pm : Cocktail7:30 pm : End of the eventPlease register here. We look forward to seeing you there.
