| Registration is now open for the Thorium Energy Conference – ThEC13 in Geneva at CERN! Thorium Energy is rapidly growing in popularity and so does the Thorium Energy Conference which is held at CERN in Geneva in partnership with iThEC. CERN is in many ways a unique location as the world’s largest physics laboratory, the birthplace of the World Wide Web, the home of the Grid, discovery place of the Higgs (God) particle … the list is long. The amount of places for ThEC13 are limited so don’t miss the opportunity to discover Thorium Energy and the people in the community at ThEC13 in Geneva by registering today.  |

Check-in
A pre-conference cocktail party will be held on Sunday October 27, from 17:00 to 20:00 (location to be announced soon).
It is strongly adviced for all participants to attend and collect the check-in material there in order to avoid Monday registration queuing.
The check-in material will include a pass which will be mandatory in order to be allowed into the Globe of Science and Innovation at CERN.
At present we are contacting international advisors in the development of thorium energy systems in order to establish an International Scientific Advisory Committee (ISAC) to get their advice on topics and potential speakers.
Readers of this announcement are encouraged to propose topics and speakers. Such proposals will be considered when deciding on the conference programme.
Please send your proposal to ThEC13@itheo.org
Further information will be made available soon at our ThEC13 pageor at the CERN ThEC13 page.
We look forward to seeing you at ThEC13 in Geneva!
