We would like to announce that the recordings of the European Teacher Day 2025 are now live on our YouTube channel!

The goal of the European Fusion Teacher Day was to introduce nuclear fusion to secondary school teachers throughout Europe, to discuss teaching nuclear fusion to secondary school students and to create enthusiasm for the field of fusion at the secondary education level.

The event featured multiple domestic sessions in local languages with lectures by fusion experts on current fusion research. Local sessions were organised in Bulgarian, Danish, Dutch, Estonian, French, German, Italian, Spanish, and Ukrainian.

Lastly, the event offered a European Session in which FuseNet educational materials were presented and keynote speakers from the international fusion community gave an inside look into the largest scientific collaboration in the world. This year's European Session included an EPFL Tokamak Tour and a virtual tour of ITER.

All talks from this year and previous years can be found on our Youtube channel. The talks from this event can be viewed via the following link: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLLqfABf9TMOg8_-OPInlddoTZugiCrBjS

We are happy to announce that the German translation of Module 3 of our educational materials is now available on our website!

This module is part of our series of educational materials for secondary schools. In this module, Plasma Control, students learn about the basics of control theory and see how this is used in fusion. Starting from the simple example of a home thermostat, we see how measurements and actuators can be used to control physical quantities. We see how this translates to fusion, by considering the basics of different plasma heating methods. The module concludes by discussing diagnostic techniques.
