Studying blanket models of the systems code PROCESS at IPP Greifswald As a part of my master’s program in Science and Technology of Nuclear Fusion (Eindhoven University of Technology), I went on an internship to the Max‐Planck-Institut für Plasmafysik in Greifswald, Germany. With the aid of FuseNet’s funding support, I travelled to Greifswald and stayed in the institute’s guesthouse.

Supported by FuseNet, Amit Kharwandikar went to the Swiss Plasma Centre in Lausanne, Switzerland. There, Amit worked on the power exhaust problem for next-step fusion devices. He also enjoyed the support his supervisors and other SPC scientists gave him. His work at SPC even motivated Amit to pursue a doctoral title in his field!

Supported by FuseNet, Foisal Bin Touhid Siddiki travelled to the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics in Germany for his thesis. He ran experiments on the helicon plasma source of the IShTAR test facility, to optimize the plasma source of this device and validate the experimental results. He also enjoyed the experience working at a renowned research center.
