FuseNet

The FuseNet Association is the European Fusion Education Network. Keep up-to-date with the latest fusion related news, upcoming events & open PhD positions

The Fusenet Association is an independent legal entity that was founded in December 2010 to provide a platform for the coordination of European fusion education activities, the initiation, development and implementation of new EU-wide actions, and for the exchange and dissemination of fusion education information. The association is open to all European organizations that are active in the field of fusion education and research.

Do you want to be more involved in the promotion of fusion education in Europe? Do you have ideas on how to make the fusion scientific community bigger and more inclusive? Do you want to give input as a student to FuseNet? Then join the FuseNet Student Council!

To fit the FuseNet activities and strategy to the needs of students, FuseNet set up the Student Council: a separate advisory body in which Master and PhD students from member institutions across Europe convene and provide input to the Board of Governors. Members of the Student Council take part in all the Work Packages that FuseNet works on, and they are responsible for organizing the Master Event, a remote event that gathers Master students from all over Europe.

As part of its mission, the Student Council aims to help build a stronger, more inclusive, and better-connected fusion research community across Europe. Master students play a key role in this effort, and we strongly encourage them to apply.

The SCF convenes predominantly online but also holds at least one live meeting each year at the FuseNet PhD Event. This is also a great opportunity to build a strong network with peers and establish valuable connections for your future career—both in academia and industry.

Positions at the FuseNet Student Council are now open. Current Master and PhD students affiliated to a FuseNet member institution are welcome to apply. A Student Council member term is 1 year with the possibility of a 1-year extension.

If you are interested, please send a motivation letter (max. 300 words) and your CV to student.council@fusenet.eu before 9 January 2026.

Additional criteria regarding geographical distribution, the ratio between Master and Doctoral students, and gender diversity will be considered to help shape a more representative and inclusive Council.

Big Science Organizations (BSOs) such as CERN, ESA, and ITER are at the heart of today’s scientific landscape, mobilizing human, financial, and technological resources on an unprecedented scale. The complexity of these scientific ventures requires innovative governance and management strategies. This workshop underscores the importance of tailored training and skills development to foster effective leadership within BSOs, tackling key issues like governance, economic impacts, outreach, and industry collaboration.

The University of Granada is hosting this workshop to connect experts, highlight sought-after skills, and foster networking through panels and roundtables, addressing governance, industry collaboration, and career pathways for students and early career researchers in these dynamic scientific environments.

The workshop will take place tomorrow from 15:00 to 19:00 and has a hybrid format meaning it can be attended both online and onsite.

To register, please click on this link: https://forms.gle/VWoyoLGdmzHWgfBPA.

The conference venue is: Carmen de la Victoria, Cta. del Chapiz, 9,18010 Granada, Spain.

We are happy to announce that the Italian translation of Module 2 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, Road to Fusion, students discover the history of fusion by learning about how it all began. Starting from the discovery of the process that powers the Sun, students can learn about the many different types of experimental devices that were created to try and generate energy through magnetic confinement fusion.

You can find this module in our educational materials browser: https://fusenet.eu/education/material.

The European Teacher Day will take place in less than 4 weeks, on 10 October 2025!

The goal of the European Fusion Teacher Day is 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. This event will be fully online.

The event will feature Domestic Sessions with lectures by local fusion experts on current fusion research in your area. Additionally, there will be a European Session in which new (free) educational materials will be presented, and keynote speakers will give an inside look into selected fusion facilities engaged in the international effort towards the achievement of fusion power. The whole event will be remote.

The European Session will include a virtual EPFL Tokamak tour and a virtual ITER tour. For the full programme and details, please visit our website: https://indico.fusenet.eu/event/58/overview. Here, you will also be able to find more information about your domestic session.
