Everything education on one page

FuseNet actively supports workshops and educational events across Europe for students of all levels. A portal for all things fusion education, our website provides up-to-date information on interesting workshops and educational events for fusion students. Through our expansive network, we additionally have access to a carefully curated body of fusion-educational materials. Not only do we provide for BSc, MSc and PhD students, we also have a lot of interesting information for teachers at any stage of education: primary school, secondary school and university.

Second TRANSAT Tritium School

Virtual

2021-06-14

Following the successful First Tritium School, TRANSAT partners decided to keep the structure of the first school. They plan to organise five days of talks of invited speakers where cross-cutting activities from fission and fusion on tritium will be presented together with a waste management issues and biological studies with respect to toxicology and dosimetry. The school will take in the afternoon hours in European central time in order make it available also for attendees outside Europe with different time zones.

Plasma Physics and Controlled Fusion (Polytech-SOKENDAI)

Virtual

2021-07-12

This is a joint program developed by Peter the Great Polytechnic University and School of Physical Sciences of SOKENDAI (the Graduate University for Advanced Studies, Japan). The course is suitable as the first plasma physics course or an add-on course for senior undergraduate students and graduate students.

The primary objective of the course is to present the fundamentals of plasma physics particularly highlighting high-temperature plasma physics and its applications to controlled fusion. The course begins with an overview of plasma phenomena and their applications. The lectures cover Coulomb collisions, single particle motion in magnetic field, magnetic traps, principles of controlled fusion, plasma heating and diagnostics. The program also includes study visits to a tokamak laboratory and a laboratory for plasma technologies.
