During the two-weeks event, participants will be paired with one or two other participants. Each
group will be assigned a fusion-oriented topic linked to actual research conducted at the IPP
Prague. This topic may be related to actual data collected during the past 10 years of operation of
the COMPASS tokamak or to simulations of past or future experiments. Under the supervision of
scientists, participants will experience a glimpse of what a fusion scientist does. Like in past
years, only one day will be devoted to lectures to allow more time to work on the assignment. On
the last day of the event, participants will present their work in English in front of a broad
audience. Social events such as a tour of Prague, welcome party and a visit of GOLEM are also
planned and are considered essential for the successful realization of the school.
All students from bachelor to PhD levels are welcome to apply until
June 4th. Applicants can expect a response around mid-June and are required to provide a CV,
a recommendation letter, and a cover letter. A symbolic fee of 70 euros per participant is set to
secure participation. More information can be found on the
SUMTRAIC website.
