Fusion Industry School Continues To Train The #fusiongeneration -is It Time For Snp/greens To Think Again As England Goes Fas

11th July 2024

Now in it's third year, the Fusion Industry School ‘opened its doors' again in York from the 17th to the 20th June.

Over 50 delegates - from private fusion companies, wider fusion industry and UKAEA convened at the iconic Guild Hall in York to hear from key note speakers on various fusion topics - from microwave heating to materials science ; diagnostics to digital design. As well as the presentations, delegates participated in a lively panel discussion on the future of the fusion industry, met Fusion Power Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) students over a poster reception and had plenty of opportunities to network.

Organised by UKAEA and the Fusion Power CDT, the aim is to educate and inform the ever-growing fusion industry in the challenges and opportunities in developing fusion as a future power source - playing a key role in training the next fusion generation.

UKAEA's university liaison manager, Chris Warrick, one of the event organisers, was delighted with the impact FIS is having, said:

"Organising and attending FIS is always a pleasure. The presentations are always accompanied by many questions, and the delegate feedback we get, shows much much it is valued and appreciated."

If you missed out on the Fusion Industry School in York, there are still spaces for the Oxford Fusion Industry School being held the 30th - 3rd October. Offering a 2-week interactive programme of lectures from world-leading experts in fusion, aimed at providing an overview of the current progress and challenges to industry professionals. The school consists of lectures, networking sessions, panel discussions and Q&As as well as visits to the UKAEA national fusion facilities.
