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.

In less than 2 weeks, from 13-15 October, the Università degli Studi della Tuscia and FuseNet Association will welcome 150 PhD students to Viterbo, Italy!

During the event, the students have time to meet fusion researchers and fellow PhD students, posing as a great opportunity to strengthen and expand their fusion research network. This year's edition includes a visit to ENEA Frascati and the DTT site. At the end of a long day of sharing their research in the form of PechaKucha presentations and poster sessions, the attendees will get to enjoy dinner and some drinks in Viterbo.

We highly advise the participants to keep an eye on the event page for the latest updates: https://indico.fusenet.eu/event/66/

We look forwarding to welcoming you all to Viterbo soon!

The European Teacher Day will take place in 3 weeks on 2 October 2026!

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 tour at DIFFER and a virtual ITER Organization tour. For the full programme and details, please visit our website: https://indico.fusenet.eu/event/65/overview. Here, you will also be able to find more information about your domestic session.

UNED - Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia will be offering a new Master's Degree in Computational Neutronics (MUNC). This one-year program (60 ECTS) is the first master's degree worldwide focused exclusively on computational neutronics. It is an applied, industry-oriented, program designed to train students and professionals to tackle real-world nuclear analysis challenges. A technical background in Physics, Nuclear Engineering or related engineering fields is recommended, and some familiarity with computational tools will be helpful. However, the programme is designed to help students progressively build the practical skills needed for computational work in neutronics.

The programme, taught entirely in English, is of hybrid format with 7 courses delivered 100% online and in-person exams that can be taken at any of UNED's 80 global centers. The final Master's Thesis (18 ECTS) is carried out in collaboration with a "market agent" (an industry or research host) to solve real technical problems. It is also possible to do on-site internships at major organizations like ITER, Fusion for Energy (F4E), IFMIF-DONES, Proxima Fusion, CIEMAT and more. However, while on-site internships are encouraged (with mobility funding available), the thesis can also be completed fully online.

From 24 August to 4 September, IPP CAS in Prague, Czechia, will be hosting its 22nd summer training course: SUMTRAIC 2026. The program includes a day of informative lectures, an English presentation for a broad audience and social events such as a tour of Prague, a welcome party and a visit of GOLEM!

During the two-week event, participants will be paired with one or two other participants. Each group will be assigned a fusion-oriented topic linked to actual research conducted at the IPP Prague. Topics may vary from simulations of COMPASS tokamak experiments to working with actual experimental data or experimental topics on the GOLEM tokamak.

All students from bachelor to PhD levels are welcome to apply by 14 June, and must provide a CV, a recommendation letter, and a cover letter. Applicants can expect an answer before the end of June. This year, the fee for participation is set to 850 EUR including accommodation for two weeks with breakfast (not covering travel and daily expenditures). In addition to possible FuseNet funding, students can apply for an IPP support grant (limited number) to cover the accommodation cost, reducing the fee to 250 EUR.
