FuseNet

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.

Want to study Nuclear Fusion at TU/e? Join the Online Open Day!

Curious about the master’s program Science and Technology of Nuclear Fusion at Eindhoven University of Technology? During the Online Open Day on Saturday, May 23, from 14:00–18:00 (CEST, UTC+2), you can explore TU/e and discover our master’s, PhD, and EngD opportunities in fusion and plasma-related research — all from home.

The event is fully interactive, meaning you can do more than just watch presentations. You’ll have the opportunity to ask questions directly to students and staff about the Nuclear Fusion program, research projects, career opportunities, and student life at TU/e.

You can join live presentations, attend information sessions, and learn more about cutting-edge research in sustainable energy and fusion technology. Whether your interest lies in plasma physics, advanced materials, reactor technology, or contributing to the future of clean energy, this is your chance to discover what studying Nuclear Fusion at TU/e is really like.

From 8–12 June, the 2026 edition of the DONES Xcitech School on Science and Technology, jointly organised by IFMIF-DONES and the Universidad de Granada will take place in Granada, Spain. The programme combines two complementary courses:

- AI for High-Impact Science and Engineering: directed by María Ortiz de Zúñiga, focused on emerging AI technologies and their applications in scientific infrastructures, engineering and fusion environments.

- DONES in Depth: directed by Ángel Ibarra, providing an in-depth overview of IFMIF-DONES and the broader fusion ecosystem, including accelerator systems, fusion materials, tritium modelling, liquid metals, safety, industrial development and Big Science infrastructures.

The programme includes contributions from key institutions and organisations in the fusion landscape, including IFMIF-DONES, Fusion for Energy (F4E), CERN, Clean Air Task Force, and several industrial partners linked to the European fusion ecosystem. For the first time, participants will also visit the IFMIF-DONES facilities in Escúzar.

In addition to FuseNet financial support for travel and subsistence for master students, there are two scholarships sponsored by F4E available, and a new “Pilar Aranda” scholarship funded by the University of Granada. The scholarship application deadline is 18 May 2026, while the general registration deadline is 24 May 2026. For more information and registration, please see the website: www.xcitech-school.org.

We are happy to announce that the Portuguese translation of Module 3 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, Plasma Control, students learn about the basics of control theory and see how this is used in fusion. Starting from the simple example of a home thermostat, we see how measurements and actuators can be used to control physical quantities. We see how this translates to fusion, by considering the basics of different plasma heating methods. The module concludes by discussing diagnostic techniques.

You are warmly invited to attend the Belgian Fusion Day, which will be hosted on April 28th in Leuven, Belgium.

The Belgian Fusion Day is a joint event organized by the fusion research laboratories at the Royal Military Academy Belgium (ERM-KMS), the Belgian Nuclear Research Centre SCK-CEN, Ghent University, KU Leuven, Université Libre de Bruxelles, and Université Catholique de Louvain. It aims to showcase to a broad audience the current state of Fusion Energy development and the involvement of Belgium in the pursuit of this abundant and carbon-free energy source of the future. In this 4th edition of the event, we focus in particular on ITER, the landscape of private fusion companies, and the role Belgium’s high-tech industry can play in the development of future fusion power plants. The meeting is also dedicated to networking in view of upcoming public-private-partnerships between academia and industry.
