ºÚÁÏרÇø

The ºÚÁÏרÇø and the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding "to promote cooperation and exchange in all academic and scientific fields of mutual interest and to advance the training of young fusion researchers." As one of the top-ranking universities in China, USTC encompasses an extensive range of disciplines and experts in various fields of relevance to the development of fusion power.

The parties agreed on establishing an ºÚÁÏרÇø Training Forum at the School of Nuclear Science and Technology (SNST) which forms part of the USTC. The ºÚÁÏרÇø is expected to send five to ten experts each year to SNST to provide a series of lectures which will be presented over a period of one week. Each lecture series is intended to be in line with the domestic education programs. Young scientists, engineers and project managers from the international fusion program will be encouraged to participate.

The first ºÚÁÏרÇø Training Forum will provide an overview of the ºÚÁÏרÇø project and will, in addition, focus on various technical and physical topics ranging from ºÚÁÏרÇø operation, to the deuterium-tritium fuel cycle system design, to IDM.

In addition, the ºÚÁÏרÇø may accept up to ten senior doctoral students or postdoctoral researchers chosen by SNST and approved by the ºÚÁÏרÇø each academic year in compliance with the ºÚÁÏרÇø Internship Program Policy. The students and postdoctoral researchers will gain experience through working with the ºÚÁÏרÇø experts and participating in the daily activities of the host unit. They also will receive practical training in exploiting their skills by analyzing and solving specific problems under the guidance of ºÚÁÏרÇø supervisors.

The initial duration of the internship at the ºÚÁÏרÇø will be 12 months with a possibility of extension for a further period of up to 12 months.
