Having completed a successful operating phase, guided tours are now available again at the IPP Greifswald. You may schedule an appointment by phone (9 a.m. - 2 p.m.) or email.

During the tour, you will receive an introductory lecture providing comprehensive insight into our work and developments in the field of fusion research. Following this, you will be given a guided tour of the Wendelstein7-X fusion facility.

If you would like to delve deeper into the world of physics, you save the date for our Open Day on October 11, 2025. You can find the programme here: www.ipp.mpg.de/offene-tuer-2025
