ITER, St Paul lez Durance
An overview of the ITER project will be presented together with other major projects within the worldwide Fusion programme, especially IFMIF (The International Fusion Materials Irradiation Facility). IFMIF is a high intensity deuteron accelerator for material irradiation research with a prototype to be constructed in Japan by an international team. ITER is the worlds largest Tokamak under construction in Cadarache (France), with seven parties (China, Europe, India, Japan, Korea, Russia and the US) contributing ninety percent of the project In-Kind. These two major activities together with the upgrade of the Japanese Tokamak JT-60SA as well as the development of a worldwide platform for fusion research are the pillars of research to develop Fusion as a realistic source of energy for the future.

The CLOUD Project, where a high-energy physics accelerator is being used to study atmospheric and climate science for the first time, will be described.

Cosmic ray particles can produce extended air showers that have a total energy of more than 100 EeV, which is a hundred million times more than the TeV particles that we produce in accelerators. How do the cosmic accelerators work? Where are they and what are they accelerating? How do the supposedly extragalactic particles propagate to Earth? Do they offer a new kind of astronomy? The Pierre Auger Observatory is an international project dedicated to find answers to these - and many more - questions. The presentation reviews the goals, achievements and plans for a better understanding of ultra-high energy cosmic rays.
