IPP is happy to announce the opening of the call for application in its 21th summer training course (SUMTRAIC 2025) which will take place from Monday, August 25th to Friday, September 5th 2025.
Apply on the SUMTRAIC website:
https://indico.ipp.cas.cz/e/sumtraic2025
All students from bachelor to PhD levels are welcome to apply until June 8th, including a
CV, a recommendation letter, and a cover letter. Among the applicants, 10 students will be selected
and applicants can expect an answer around mid-June. A symbolic
fee of 100 euros per participant is set to secure participation.
Accommodation is covered by the IPP CAS.
Description of the school:
During the two-week 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. Some experimental topics on
the GOLEM tokamak (located at the Czech Technical University) will also be proposed.
Under the supervision of scientists, participants will experience a glimpse of what a fusion
scientist does. As in previous years, only one day will be devoted to lectures in order to allow
more time to work on the assigned tasks. 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 building social links
and the successful realization of the school.
