Dear MSc student in fusion,

FuseNet is launching the first-ever FuseNet Master Event on October 5–6 of this year. It is intended for (prospective) Master’s students in the field of fusion and plasma physics. So are you eager to learn more about contemporary developments in fusion-related topics and are you excited to meet your peers from all over Europe? Then read on!

For students by students

After the conclusion of the very successful virtual PhD event near the end of last year, some very enthusiastic students sent FuseNet a message, inquiring whether they could participate in a similar online event for Master’s students. Though there was no such event planned at the time, a spark was ignited, and a commission was formed. Now, about five months after the Master Event became an official FuseNet initiative, the date has been set, and registrations have opened!

The event is interesting to both students who are just getting started in fusion or aspiring to do so, and to students who are graduating. Over two days, you will learn about state-of-the-art fusion topics and the role of industry in interactive lectures.

Industry and engineering

The sessions during the first day of the event revolve primarily around the industry and engineering topics, where several talks about the engineering challenges in nuclear fusion are given, e.g. concerning the tritium breeding blankets or the superconductor magnets. Successively everyone is invited to join the networking assembly, which provides the perfect environment for students to meet their colleagues and companies in their study field.

Fundamental science

During the second day the theme is largely concerned with the fundamental science of fusion, where there will be talks about non-Tokamak devices, MHD instabilities and plasma modelling. During the afternoon, a Pecha Kucha Event takes place, providing the stage to anyone elated to share their fusion-related work or topic.

Registration

Learn about fusion, meet your future colleagues and companies in the fusion field, register now for the first-ever FuseNet Master Event! For more information and to register, visit the dedicated event page: https://indico.fusenet.eu/e/master-event-2021

The organising committee is hoping to see many of you there! Spread the word!
