Location of KTH Royal Institute of Technology

The Joint European Master in Nuclear Fusion Science and Engineering Physics (FUSION-EP ) is offered by the following partners:

* Universiteit Gent, Belgium (coordinator)
* Université de Lorraine, Nancy/Metz, France
* Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Spain
* Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, Spain
* Universität Stuttgart, Germany

The partners have a long relationship within the framework of the coordinated EURATOM research programme on nuclear fusion. The aim of the Masters programme is to provide a high-level multinational research-oriented education in fusion-related engineering physics, in close relation to the research activities of the partners, together with a well-integrated language and cultural experience. The combined and harmonized teaching & research of the 5 participating universities offers a much broader range of competences in the field of fusion science and engineering physics than could be provided by individual universities, and therefore guarantees a significant added value for the students in terms of specialised opportunities. The Joint European Masters Programme offers a genuine European opportunity for Master level studies in a field which is of crucial importance to solving the very urgent and vital problem of world energy supply. A large number of scientists and engineers will be required in two main categories: “Fusion technology and engineering physics” and “Plasma physics” and their formation takes typically 10 years (operation of the first experiments in ITER is scheduled for 2015), requiring a structured European Master level education. Furthermore, fusion research shows an increasing number of very important spin-offs in many fields of science and engineering, such as new materials, nanotechnologies, superconducting coils, robotics, electronic components, high power RF sources, space propulsion… Finally the EU framework offers many possibilities for summer schools and doctoral studies.
