Fusion is one of the most promising sources of green and limitless energy for the future. It does not produce long-lived by-products or greenhouse gases. The goal of this winter school, which is organized by SESAME, the Arab Physical Society, and the Arab Fusion Energy Initiative, is to spread knowledge about this strategic field among students and scientists. It will bring together students and early-career scientists from a variety of backgrounds, like mathematics, physics, and engineering, to learn about this cutting-edge field from Arab and non-Arab experts in this field.

We aim to empower the scientific community with fusion knowledge, foster collaboration, and position the region as a proactive player in the future of clean energy.
 

Key Objectives of this winter school

·   Introduce students and scientists to fusion, plasma physics, and enabling technologies.

·   Equip the next generations of scientists with the skills to enter fusion research and development.

·   Encourage young scientists to engage in high-impact energy challenges, such as fusion.  

·   Introduce the participants to international programs and facilitate networking with experts.

 

Deadline: 15 November 2025


Grants: A limited number of grants are available to support the attendance of selected participants, with priority given to participants from developing countries.
