Participation
The School attendance is limited to a selected number of students (20), equally distributed between Japan and Europe, to allow for efficient supervised exercises, group work and strong interaction with lecturers.
Participation is open to PhD students and to physicists and engineers in the early phase of their careers, who are presently involved in fusion research. Education at Master level and affiliation to a European or Japanese research institute or University (independently of applicants' nationality) are required. A good working knowledge of the English language is necessary.
The participants' mission expenses will be supported by QST for participants belonging to Japanese institutes or private companies, and by EUROfusion for participants belonging to institutes associated to EUROfusion under the EUROfusion funding rules. Participants from European private companies or institutes not affiliated to EUROfusion should be funded by their employers.
Motivation to start or continue a career in fusion as well as broad interest in all the aspects of fusion research (physics - theory and experiments, engineering, operation of fusion facilities) will be criteria for selection, as well as motivation for team work in an international and multi-cultural environment. The school promotes diversity and gender parity.
