Programme 2024

Fusion Industry School 2024

The Fusion Industry School will run its third annual event in 2024.  The programme will include lectures, panel sessions and networking, and delegates attending the Oxford week will also be offered a site tour of the UKAEA national fusion facilities.

York: Monday 17th – Thursday 20th June 2024
Oxford: Monday 30th September – Thursday 3rd October 2024

The aim of the Fusion Industry School is to introduce you to the breadth of fusion energy. Thus, while the lectures will be technical, we will endeavour to ensure they are accessible to delegates from a range of backgrounds. Nevertheless, we anticipate that those with a physical sciences or engineering degree, or equivalent experience, will benefit most. No specific knowledge of fusion energy will be assumed. The programme is optimised for delegates attending both weeks, but you will still benefit if you are only able to attend one.

York Week – Monday 17th – Thursday 20th June 2024
(focus on fusion science and technology)

Oxford Week – Monday 30th September – Thursday 3rd October 2024
(focus on engineering applications)
