The Swiss Plasma Center at EPFL (École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne) is a world leader in fusion research and plasma applications. It hosts the Tokamak à Configuration Variable (TCV), one of only four major fusion research facilities in Europe.
Fusion, the process that powers the Sun, holds the promise of providing a safe, abundant, and clean source of energy. Our diverse international team of researchers, engineers, and students collaborates through a comprehensive program of research and training, advancing our understanding of plasma physics and driving fusion toward a central role in the energy transition.
The Swiss Plasma Center is part of EPFL’s School of Basic Sciences and actively participates in the EUROfusion Consortium, a collaboration of 30 fusion research organizations and universities across 25 European member states, plus the United Kingdom, Switzerland, and Ukraine. Through this network, we contribute to Europe’s leading-edge fusion research initiatives.
