New Two-Day Fusion Crash Course for Leaders

Building on the success of our eight-day Fusion Industry School, we’re excited to announce a new, condensed two-day bootcamp. This program is specifically designed for Managers and Senior 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 will be 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.

Lectures (provisional):

Fusion Science: Roddy Vann, University of York (fundamentals; fuel cycle; plasma physics)

Materials for Fusion (panel): (tritium; superconductors; plasma-facing & structural materials)

Amy Gandy, UKAEA
Damian Hampshire, Durham University

Engineering opportunities and connecting to the grid: Debbie Kempton, UKIFS

UK & International Landscape: Adam Baker, DESNZ
