🎉 Welcoming Our New Grantees! 🎉 We recently hosted our first-ever EUROfusion Grants Induction Week in Garching! From 21–24 July, our early-career researchers and engineers explored the fusion roadmap, connected with EUROfusion experts, and toured cutting-edge facilities like ASDEX Upgrade. 🌍⚛️ This new initiative brought together our bright early career researchers and engineers across Europe who recently have started their research projects under the EUROfusion Grants programme. Over the four days, grantees: • Gained insights into EUROfusion’s programme, structure, mission, and strategic goals • Engaged with experts from the DEMO Central Team and Science Department • Visited the ASDEX Upgrade facilities. • Connected with peers and mentors across Europe building a strong community. • Explored how their work contributes to the broader fusion roadmap and how it could be applied in areas outside fusion as part of fusion technology transfer. A huge thank you to all participants and speakers for an inspiring week—we're excited to see your future contributions to fusion energy and beyond! #EUROfusion #FusionEnergy #EngineeringGrants #ResearchGrants #FutureScientists #FutureEngineers
