SUMmer TRAIning Course 2022 was held this year despite the fact that the COMPASS tokamak is already gone and the COMPASS-U has not yet arrived. Students from all over the world got a chance to get their hands on real scientific work in nuclear fusion research! The 18th 2-weeks summer training course (SUMTRAIC) took place from Monday, August 29th to Friday, September 9th at IPP.
SUMTRAIC is a training school to get practical experience with tokamak operation. The main goal is to acquaint participants with all aspects of experimental plasma physics on a tokamak. In two weeks, participants from multiple countries obtained basic working experience in the fusion research, including preparation of the experimental campaign, operation of the tokamak, data analyses and presentation of results. From this year the event is dedicated to Jan Stockel, the father of the event, that passed away recently. The event will be continued in his legacy, i.e. joy, enthusiasm for science and friendship.
