Two-Day Fusion Crash Course for Managers and Senior Leaders 2026
Building on the success of our eight-day Fusion Industry School, we have developed a condensed Two-Day Fusion Crash Course. This program is specifically designed for Managers and Leaders who want to grasp the fundamentals of fusion energy and understand the unique opportunities and challenges within this emerging industry.
Topics will include fusion science and engineering applications, as well as broader commercialisation and the wider sector landscape. The aim is to provide enough technical and sector specific knowledge to frame conversations around financing, strategy, project management and business development.
You do not need any prior knowledge of fusion to attend.
