The EUROfusion Researcher and Engineering Grants allow selected candidates to choose and implement their individual 2-year research programme with extensive travel to train and collaborate with European and international partners.
- Provide access to high-quality educational and training material through the new eLearning platform, called the Fusion Education and Learning Hub (FuEL). The platform will provide access to recorded and live online university courses from Europe and collaborating partners as well as detailed information on universities, research centers and opportunities to join the fusion research programme.
