The Joint European Master in Nuclear Fusion Science and Engineering Physics (FUSION-EP ) is offered by the following partners:
o Universiteit Gent, Belgium (coordinator)
o Université Henri Poincaré, Nancy, France
o Kungliga Tekniska Högskola (KTH) Stockholm, Sweden
o Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Spain
o Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, Spain
o Universidad Polytécnica de Madrid, Spain
o Universität Stuttgart, Germany
The partners have a long relationship in the framework of the coordinated EURATOM research programme on nuclear fusion (see 2.27). 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, and with a well-integrated language and cultural experience.
The combined and harmonized teaching &research of the 7 universities offers a far greater variety of competences in the field of fusion science and engineering physics than could be provided by each of the single universities, and therefore guarantees a significant added value for the students in terms of specialisation opportunities. The Joint European Masters Programme offers a genuine European opportunity for Master level studies in a field which is of crucial importance to contribute to the solution of the ever more 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 experimental reactor ITER is scheduled for 2015), requiring a structured European Master level education. Furthermore, fusion research shows an increasing and very important spin-off in many fields of science and engineering, such as new materials, nanotechnologies, superconducting coils, robotics, electronic components, high power RF sources, space propulsion… The EU framework described in 2.27 offers many possibilities for summer schools and doctoral studies.
