Roadmap Panel session

The FuseNet stand, located in the center of the industrial exhibitors booth and conveniently next to the coffee corner, enjoyed a lot of attention. We had good conversations on how to promote and improve the quality of fusion education, and received interest in participation from several companies.

Some universities and research institutes got acquainted with FuseNet for the first time, and we are looking forward to welcome them soon as new members of our growing European fusion education network.
