Venue

The EPS 2027 will be held at the SwissTech Convention Center in Lausanne, Switzerland. Located on the campus of EPFL and easily accessible by public transport, the SwissTech Convention Center offers a modern, world-class venue for international conferences and events. Details on how to reach the SwissTech Convention Center can be found here.

EPFL

EPFL, the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne, is one of the most dynamic university campuses in Europe and ranks among the top 20 universities worldwide. The EPFL employs more than 6,500 people supporting the three main missions of the institutions: education, research and innovation. The EPFL campus offers an exceptional working environment at the heart of a community of more than 18,500 people, including over 14,000 students and 4,000 researchers from more than 120 different countries.

Swiss Plasma Center

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. The Swiss Plasma Center also hosts several low-temperature plasma experiments, including TORPEX and RAID, and it develops biological applications of plasma. Theory and numerical modeling activities at the Swiss Plasma Center cover first principle based simulations of plasma turbulence, MHD analysis of equilibrum and stability properties in tokamaks and stellarators, as well as the modelling of experimental results. The Swiss Plasma Center superconductivity activities have two main focuses: testing fusion-device superconductors with the unique SULTAN facility, and developing next-generation technologies through coil design for future installations and high-temperature superconductors

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. Through this network, we contribute to Europe’s leading-edge fusion research initiatives.
