Culham Plasma Physics Summer School

Organized at a leading site for research in plasma physics and controlled nuclear fusion, the Culham Centre for Fusion Energy (CCFE) in Oxfordshire, UK, the Culham Plasma Physics Summer School aims to provide an introduction to the fundamental principles of plasma physics, together with a broad understanding of its fields of application. No preceding knowledge of plasma physics is assumed but familiarity with electromagnetism and applied mathematics at first-degree level will be helpful. Previous schools have attracted students from more than 50 different countries.

Lecturers are drawn from the Culham Centre for Fusion Energy (CCFE), the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL) together with leading European universities. All are renowned experts in their fields.

CCFE Fusion Association is funded jointly by the UK Engineering & Physical Sciences Research Council and by EUROfusion, with support from Fusenet. Students must be over 18 to attend the summer school and generally will be in their final year of undergraduate or first year of post graduate study. All classes are in English.

The next edition will be held in 2025. See all information here.
