Let there be cold

The European Fusion Education Network, FuseNet, has developed five educational modules on the basics of fusion energy for use in secondary schools:

• Fusion Basics
• Road to Fusion
• Plasma Control
• Fusion Materials
• (Fusion) Deployment

The five modules can be downloaded in English for free from the FuseNet website here.

To ensure the widest possible diffusion of these educational materials, the team at FuseNet is working on translations to 19 other languages with the assistance of volunteers. Module 1, " Fusion Basics," has already been translated into Bulgarian, Danish, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Slovak, Spanish and Ukrainian, and other language versions are in progress (Arabic, Czech, Greek, Hungarian, Macedonian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Romanian, and Slovenian). Translations of Modules 2-5 are either available or planned (see the progress chart on the FuseNet website).

To download all available versions, open the individual modules on this page and click in the right margin.

If you would like to contribute to translating the modules, contact FuseNet at: feo@fusenet.eu.

The European Fusion Education Network, FuseNet, is organizing the 6th annual European Fusion Teacher Day on 10 October 2025. The goal is to introduce nuclear fusion to secondary school teachers throughout Europe, to discuss teaching nuclear fusion to secondary school students and to create enthusiasm for the field of fusion at the secondary education level.

The event features a domestic session with lectures by local fusion experts on current fusion research in your area, followed by a global livestream during which new (free) educational materials will be presented and keynote speakers from the international fusion community give an inside look into the largest scientific collaboration in the world. Both the domestic and global parts of the event are fully remote.

Participation is open to every science and physics teacher in Europe. Participation is free of charge. All participants will receive a certificate of attendance after the event.

The Clean Air Task Force (CATF) has released an updated version of its Global Fusion Map, a public resource that tracks the rapidly expanding international fusion energy landscape.

The new edition highlights major additions across private-sector projects, government initiatives, research collaborations, and commercial milestones. Designed for policymakers, industry leaders, journalists, and the public, the tool provides a clear picture of how the field is evolving and where activity is concentrated. The map also illustrates the range of fusion approaches under development worldwide—including magnetic confinement, magnetized target fusion, inertial confinement, and field-reversed configuration—while providing insight into project scale by reported investment. 

CATF adds a disclaimer stating that " the map has been compiled from publicly available sources and is not exhaustive."  Access the updated CATF Global Fusion Map here: https://www.catf.us/global-fusion-map/.
