Supported by FuseNet, both Wenling Dong and Uladzislava Yevarouskaya visited the 10th Festival de Théorie in Aix-en-Province. This year’s edition was all about phase dynamics, and both Wenling and Uladzislava would like to tell you something about their experiences!

Supported by FuseNet, Caterina Cavallini went to Lisbon's Institute for Plasmas and Nuclear Fusion to study the wettability of stainless steel by liquid gallium. Being a chemist at heart, she overcame her initial worries and poured herself into understanding vacuum technology to build the device she was going to experiment with. On Fridays, she enjoyed the local cerveja in the brewery with her lab mates.

Supported by FuseNet, Allessandro Cianciulli went Lisbon's Institute for Plasmas and Nuclear Fusion. He worked on algorithms to real-time reconstruct the plasma current inISTTok tokamak, which is special in that it operates in alternating-current mode. In his free time he surfed the cold, cold ocean and climbed the beautifuls cliffs.

Supported by FuseNet, Vito Konrad Zotta went to Culham Centre for Fusion Energy's JET. He worked on modelling different plasma scenarios for JET's next experimental campaigns. In his free time he enjoyed the city of Oxford, with its many interesting activities, concerts and events.

Supported by FuseNet, Tertyshna Mariia went to the Belgian Nuclear Research Center SCK-CEN, where worked on her Master's thesis. She researrched three-point bending dependencies of ductile-to-brittle-transition-temperature-minimised tungsten samples. On her days of she enjoyed sports, travelling, and tasting national dishes.

Supported by FuseNet, Stefano Marchioni went to the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics in Munich. He worked on localising tearing modes by analysing Electron Cyclotron Emission with Singular Value Decomposition. Even though the weather was sometimes tough, he discovered several nice activities in the city and the delicious beer,

Supported by FuseNet, Anej Valic attended GOMTRAIC at the Czech Technical University in Prague. Together with others, he had a five-day hands-on experience with the GOLEM tokamak. He worked with several plasma diagnostics and had to overcome some challenges associated with doing experimental work.

Supported by FuseNet, Enrico Aymerich went to Culham Centre for Fusion Energy to do his internship . In his time there, he developed and optimised two algorithms for the identification of MHD modes in the plasma. On his days off, he visited some of the famous university that Britain boasts, as well as the famous Seven Sisters Cliffs.

Supported by FuseNet, Lars van Ruremonde got to be part of the diagnostics group at Tokamak Energy Ltd., in Oxfordshire, England, where he did his master graduation project. He worked on spectroscopic simulations and was happy to do his research together with colleagues in the group, under the supervision of dr. Vladimir Shevchenko.
