The aim of the Summer School is to provide an introduction to the fundamental principles of plasma physics, together with a broad understanding of its fields of application. The school will cover fundamental plasma physics, as well as important topics in fusion, astrophysical, laser and low temperature plasmas.

The 2021 edition of the PhDiaFusion Summer School of Plasma Diagnostics will cover the design, modelling and experimental qualification aspects of the novel neutron diagnostics.

The Carolus Magnus Summer School is devoted to the theoretical and experimental aspects of high temperature plasmas confined in toroidal magnetic fields. The Summer School has a focus on the physics of energy production using controlled nuclear fusion. Here, special emphasis is laid on tokamaks, but stellarators and other confinement concepts are also discussed.

On 1 October 2021 FuseNet is organising the 2nd European Fusion Teacher Day. Following the same recipe as last year, we will have domestic sessions—with all the newest things in fusion in your country—followed by a Europe-wide live stream in the afternoon. Centrally to this day, FuseNet will be officially revealing the long-awaited classroom materials! Carefully curated and beautifully typeset, you can start using these materials immediately after the Teacher Day! But that is not all. Like last year, ITER Organization is putting in an appearance. This time they’ll be hosting a livestream from the beating heart of European fusion: the ITER tokamak pit.

During this summer school, participants will gain insight into the state-of-the-art research focused to the development of MYRRHA and other HLM-based nuclear systems. The summer school will cover several aspects of HLM technology that are essential for the engineering design and safety of nuclear systems.

The first-ever FuseNet Master Event will take place this fall! All master students in fusion-related fields are welcome to join the online event, and will be interesting to both students who are just getting started in fusion, and to students who already have some fusion knowledge. In these two days, you will learn about state-of-the-art fusion topics and the role of industry.

The 8th FuseNet PhD event is confirmed to be on 22–23 November. Last year’s first-ever virtual PhD event, the ‘Virtualternative’, turned out a singular success! We now invite all European fusion students to make this edition an even greater one. So mark 22 and 23 November in your agendas.
