Energy is the core of civilization. The search for a clean, sustainable, unlimited source of energy has led to the development of fusion technology, an attempt to create on earth the conditions that power our sun. A power plant capable of producing more output than input power is ITER (International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor), and is under construction in Cadarache, France. This talk will trace the beginnings, from concept to realization, of this first large scale truly international research project. The ITER agreement will also serve as a template for the creation of other large scale international scientific research projects.
