With the decision to build ITER, the development of nuclear fusion as a sustainable energy source has accelerated. The field attracts more and more engineers, perfectly capable of their engineering job, but often lacking the deeper insights into the broader fusion physics challenges at play. Opportunities for education and training are scarce and mainly focused upon the PhD level in university, or dedicated summer schools which addressed specific research issues.

With this in mind, the Fusion Academy offers a three-day crash course in the science and technology of nuclear fusion. In collaboration with Eindhoven University of Technology, the Fusion Academy has developed a unique program adapted to professionals in fusion R&D.

The course programme is adapted to the level and wishes of the participants. Therefore the participants will be contacted in advance of the course to discuss their learning intentions, work field, level of experience and expected benefit of the course. The course promotes interactive teaching and for that reason the group will be limited from 4-12 persons.
