Join us for a captivating academic discourse on the need for fusion energy, where audiences are invited to explore and delve into fusion energy’s complex scientific underpinnings.

Mark Maslin, a preeminent researcher from UCL, will initiate the event by elucidating the interplay between fusion energy’s development and its positioning in the broader energy market. In doing so, he will provide a comprehensive understanding of how fusion can address escalating global energy demands and combat the pressing challenges of climate change. Dennis Whyte, a respected scholar from MIT, will delve into the formidable complexities of plasma physics, a crucial aspect of the fusion process. Thus, educating audiences on the remarkable progress made in overcoming the obstacles that hinder fusion’s practical development. Jenny Cane from UKAEA, an expert in fusion engineering, will demonstrate the importance of integrated design and materials research in fusion energy development. She will provide unique insights into the physical demands and stresses that must be considered when designing fusion power plants. This event encourages a thorough understanding of fusion energy and its potential to reshape the global energy landscape. Whether you are an esteemed academic, a passionate researcher, an aspiring scientist, or an ardent student, the evening offers an exceptional opportunity to engage with leading-edge scientific discourse. This event is in collaboration with the UK Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA).
