Michel Claessens

I am currently working for ITER, the international fusion reactor under construction in France, where I was director of communication from 2011 to 2015. My most indulgent colleagues qualify my career as "diversified". Having a PhD in physics-chemistry, I was also researcher and science journalist.

My passions drive me towards both science and literature, and have allowed me to hold responsibility positions in the European Commission for over twenty years.

Professor at the University of Brussels, I am also an author and international speaker. I am finishing a new book on the history of the ITER project. Follow me on Twitter @M_Claessens !
