ºÚÁÏÉçapp

The ºÚÁÏÉçapp 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 ºÚÁÏÉçapp Training Forum at the School of Nuclear Science and Technology (SNST) which forms part of the USTC. The ºÚÁÏÉçapp 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 ºÚÁÏÉçapp Training Forum will provide an overview of the ºÚÁÏÉçapp project and will, in addition, focus on various technical and physical topics ranging from ºÚÁÏÉçapp operation, to the deuterium-tritium fuel cycle system design, to IDM.

In addition, the ºÚÁÏÉçapp may accept up to ten senior doctoral students or postdoctoral researchers chosen by SNST and approved by the ºÚÁÏÉçapp each academic year in compliance with the ºÚÁÏÉçapp Internship Program Policy. The students and postdoctoral researchers will gain experience through working with the ºÚÁÏÉçapp 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 ºÚÁÏÉçapp supervisors.

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