This summer, I had the incredible opportunity to attend a series of lectures that intertwined the fascinating fields of oceanography and plasma physics. These lectures not only expanded my knowledge but also deeply enriched my academic journey and professional aspirations.

From July 15 to 25, 2024, I had the pleasure of attending the 61st edition of the Plasma Physics Summer School held at Culham.The Summer School was a unique opportunity to immerse myself in the fundamentals of plasma physics and fusion technologies. Over the two weeks, the program proved to be intensive butexceptionally well-organized. The structure of the school included a first week dedicated to fundamental topics, such as single particle dynamics, MHD theory, kinetic and neoclassical theory. The second 

Fusion IS cool. I mean – despite the fact that it’s one of the hottest things that have ever been reproduced on Earth. During this summer I had the extraordinary opportunity to attend the 61st Culham Plasma Physics Summer School in Oxfordshire. A couple of days loaded not only with exciting lectures on various topics about nuclear fusion but also with inspiring new people from the whole world and unforgettable moments.

Hi there! I'm Haluk. Are you interested/studying in fusion and want to learn more about it to decide whether to pursue a career in this field? Do you want to meet people in fusion? If so, PlasmaSurf is the program you are looking for! I attended PlasmaSurf 2024 summer school, and it was an amazing experience filled with lectures, acdvides, and many incredible people, all passionate about fusion. 

I am Jishant Talwar, an Erasmus Scholar for theFusion-EP program. Recently I attended thePlasmaSurf Summer School. To be honest, it was oneof the best decisions of my life to apply for thisschool. It provides a perspective to live an idealstudent life by creating a balance between youracademics and extracurricular activities like surfing,rock climbing, and much more that boasts yourconfidence to tackle challenges in your life that younever even thought you could overcome.

The following is a summary of my experience in PlasmaSurf 2024, organized by the IPFN. PlasmaSurf took place in Lisbon between the 14th and 20th of July, and it was truly an amazing experience. We stayed at the youth hostel of Almada, a beautiful neighborhood just accross the Ponte 25 de Abril. The views from the hostel were mesmerizing, as you could see the bridge and the lights of the city from our windows. We were welcomed by Ricardo, our wonderful guide and organizer, who made sure that everyone had the best possible time during the week.

Hello, My name is Vojtěch Juráš and I am currently a masters's student at the Faculty of nuclear sciences and physical engineering at the Czech Technical University in Prague. In this article I will briefly describe my experience at the PlasmaSurf summer school which took place in Lisbon between 14th and 20th of July. 

During my master’s degree thesis project internship on density limit phenomena in stellarators: “Density limit in stellarators: experiments, modeling, and predictions”, in collaboration with CIEMAT (Madrid) and Università degli studi di Trieste funded by Fusenet, I developed and deepen strong competence and knowledge on Plasma fusion in magnetic confinement physics.

Only a few weeks to go before I will (hopefully) graduate. After my graduation, I am in the position to call myself a Master of Science in both Applied Physics and Science and Technology of Nuclear Fusion. Before I finish my report and start preparing for the oral presentation and the defense, I decided that I wanted to experience one additional aspect of the life of a physicist/researcher: attending a conference!
