Big Science Organizations (BSOs) such as CERN, ESA, and ITER are at the heart of today’s scientific landscape, mobilizing human, financial, and technological resources on an unprecedented scale. The complexity of these scientific ventures requires innovative governance and management strategies. This workshop underscores the importance of tailored training and skills development to foster effective leadership within BSOs, tackling key issues like governance, economic impacts, outreach, and industry collaboration.

The University of Granada is hosting this workshop to connect experts, highlight sought-after skills, and foster networking through panels and roundtables, addressing governance, industry collaboration, and career pathways for students and early career researchers in these dynamic scientific environments.

The workshop will take place tomorrow from 15:00 to 19:00 and has a hybrid format meaning it can be attended both online and onsite.

We are happy to announce that the Italian translation of Module 2 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, Road to Fusion, students discover the history of fusion by learning about how it all began. Starting from the discovery of the process that powers the Sun, students can learn about the many different types of experimental devices that were created to try and generate energy through magnetic confinement fusion.

The European Teacher Day will take place in less than 4 weeks, on 10 October 2025!

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 EPFL Tokamak tour and a virtual ITER tour. For the full programme and details, please visit our website: https://indico.fusenet.eu/event/58/overview. Here, you will also be able to find more information about your domestic session.
