To inspire and support young women to pursue a career in the nuclear field, the IAEA-initiated Marie Sklodowska-Curie Fellowship Programme (MSCFP) provides scholarships to selected students studying towards a Master’s degree in nuclear-related subjects and internship opportunities facilitated by

Finding the best video that most clearly and creatively explains complex or counterintuitive concepts in the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. This is the goal of the #VeritasiumContest.

From Ella Fox-Widdows, a PhD student at the University of Liverpool, a brand-new fusion podcast titled Fusion Focused brings you the most inspiring experts active in fusion energy.

After the conclusion of the very successful virtual PhD event near the end of last year, some very enthusiastic students sent us a message, inquiring whether they could participate in a similar online event for mas

Dear students, supervisors and other stakeholders,

In the third installment of the "Content Spotlight" series, we conduct an interview with Dr. Frank Jenko about High Performance Computing and its role in fusion research.

On Monday, 23 November 2020, 9 o’clock sharp, Prof. Roddy Vann opened the 7th edition of the FuseNet PhD event. Though originally the conference was to be held in Padova during early spring, the Covid-19 pandemic compelled us to come op with a virtual alternative.

On 2 October 2020, secondary school teachers from countries all over Europe were invited to learn more about the topic of nuclear fusion and were provided with education tools to teach the subject to their students.

In the first installment of the "Content Spotlight" series, we conducted an interview with author Michel Claessens about his recent book, "ITER: The Giant Fusion Reactor."

Aalto University, located within the metropolitan area of Helsinki, Finland, offers a PhD and Postdoc-position on the subject of plasma physics in magnetic fusion devices.

The University of Tuscia in Viterbo, Italy, has opened applications for four PhD positions up until 31 August, 2020. Of those four positions there are two in Plasma Physics and two Fusion Technology. The subjects are as follows:

Doctoral students, reserve your seat for this networking event in the old university town and with visits to Consorzio RFX.

The venue for the next PhD Event has been found: Padova. From 3 to 6 March, the European doctoral students will gather in the old city, its gardens and the experimental facilities. We are honoured that the University of Padova and Consorzio RFX will host the event.

This year, a PhD event will be held again. The host is ITER Headquarters, in cooperation with CEA. Keep an eye out for updates on this webpage. A registration page will be launched soon by the host.

Fusion in Europe is calling for aspiring writers and gifted artists! Are you into fusion? Are you even writing about it? Do futuristic scenarios play a vital role in your artwork? Have you already drawn, sketched or modelled a future powered by fusion? Now, it’s your time to introduce yourself to an international audience!

The FuseNet Association supports the organization of mini-workshops: a typically 2-5 day event with a limited audience (on PhD or master level) that covers a topic that is not widely addressed in summer schools or on another educational activity.

As of now, FuseNet is looking for organisations, companies, research institutes or universities in Europe that want to organize such a mini-workshop. FuseNet has a budget to support two of them. Institutes can claim the actual costs, up to 6k€ each. See the attached document for more details. The call is open from June 11 2018 and runs until August 26 2018.

The workplan 2018 was approved at the seventh General Assembly of FuseNet, that took place at the DIFFER institute in Eindhoven on Feb 6, 2018.

The four winners of the 2018 PhD Research Award have been announced by the EPS Plasma Physics Division Board.

The 2018 Principality of Monaco/ITER postdoctoral fellowships are now open for application. The fellowships program will run for another ten years.

During the 30th Symposium on Fusion Technology the SOFT innovation prize will be awarded to showcase and reward excellence in fusion research innovation.

Emmy award winner Mila Aung-Thwin presents a feature-length documentary on fusion premiering on March 10, 2017.

Early registration open until June 1 for the PLASMA 2017 conference that takes place from Sept. 18-22 at the Institute of Plasma Physics and Laser Microfusion in Poland.

The 2017 edition of the L’Oréal-UNESCO For Women in Science International Awards will designate five outstanding scientific researchers in the Physical Sciences, who each will receive an award of €100,000. Deadline applications: 27 March 2017.

The year 2016 has neared its end now, which gives us the opportunity to look back at some of the major record-breaking achievements of the past couple of months in fusion research from all over the world.
