The European master of science in nuclear fusion and engineering physics (FUSION-EP): 15 years of experience

Abstract The aim of the Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degree (EMJMD) FUSION-EP is to provide a high-level research-oriented education and well-integrated cultural experience within an international consortium institutions leading interdisciplinary field magnetic fusion. combined harmonized teaching research activities coordinated among eight partner universities in Belgium, Czech Republic, France, Germany Spain offer variety competences crucial importance problem world energy supply. Besides ITER International Organization, there are 24 EU non-EU academic associate partners. As fusion community makes pace towards commercialization, balance will shift from academic-and-fundamental direction technology-and-industry-driven orientation. For this purpose, programme offers two tracks: science engineering. In addition, advisory board keeps curriculum line with carried out by industrial Internationalization, multidisciplinarity, student mobility inherent parts structure philosophy. There exist several alumni initiatives leveraging meaningful connections global network. first step long-term sustainability, decided transfer coordination Ghent University Aix-Marseille 2019; geographical, topical professional proximity expected allow optimal alignment needs emerging nuclear industry.
