In September, the 34th Symposium on Fusion Technology takes place in Aix-en-Provence, France. SOFT 2026 will once again bring together the global fusion community scientists, engineers, industry representatives, and exhibitors to share the latest results and breakthroughs across all areas of fusion technology. The conference will include invited talks, oral and poster presentations, and a large industry and technology exhibition. It will offer a unique opportunity for teams working on fusion experiments, test facilities, component development, materials science, and high-level design studies to meet, exchange ideas, and move forward together.
