SUMMARY:UKAEA public open evening - July 2026
DESCRIPTION:We’d like to invite the public to UKAEA’s open evening. \n\n\n\n Our open evenings offer you a unique opportunity to see in person some of the amazing work we are doing to develop sustainable fusion energy. You will receive an introductory talk covering the basics of fusion energy\, followed by tours of the world’s largest fusion experiment – the world record breaking Joint European Torus (JET) and our Remote Applications in Challenging Environments (RACE). \n\n\n\nThe tour will be led by engineers\, scientists and technicians\, who are currently working on the experiments. You are guaranteed a genuine insight into what it’s like to work in fusion energy. You will have the opportunity to ask our passionate researchers anything about our work here at UKAEA. \n\n\n\nBring your questions and curiosity as you discover just how on Earth we are creating star-power and see two of the leading facilities responsible for this ground-breaking research\, pushing us closer to delivering fusion energy for all. \n\n\n\nTickets will go live on Monday 1 June. \n\n\n\nPlease note anyone attending this event is required to wear closed-toe shoes and a hard hat (a hard hat will be provided on the day). \n\n\n\nRegistration\n\n\n\nYou must register by completing the registration form. We encourage you to log in to Indico (the web-based event management system hosting this site) to register. Follow the ‘Regsiter now’ link on this page. \n\n\n\nWho can attend\n\n\n\nYou are welcome to attend with friends and family up to a maximum of 10 tickets per group. There is a minimum age limit of 12 years old. Anyone under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a responsible adult. \n\n\n\nThere is high demand and limited availability for tickets. Please only register if you are confident you can attend. This helps us manage resources and places effectively. \n\n\n\nTicket and key dates\n\n\n\nThis event is in person. There are limited tickets so we may need to close registration earlier than the advertised deadline. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent details\n\n\n\nDate\n\n\n\n\n\nLocation

SUMMARY:63rd Culham Plasma Physics Summer School
DESCRIPTION:The 63rd Culham Plasma Physics Summer School is a two-week introductory programme at UKAEA’s Culham Campus.  It covers fundamental plasma physics and its applications\, including fusion\, astrophysics and low-temperature plasmas. \n\n\n\nThe Culham Plasma Physics Summer School features: \n\n\n\n\nan introduction to the basic principles of plasma physics through lectures by experts and problem-solving sessions\n\n\n\nsessions on fusion plasmas\, solar\, space and astrophysical plasmas\, laser plasmas\, industrial applications\, and data analysis\n\n\n\ntours of fusion facilities like the Joint European Torus (JET) and the Mega Amp Spherical Tokamak (MAST) Upgrade\n\n\n\nsocial events\n\n\n\nopportunities for networking and detailed discussions with course lecturers\n\n\n\n\nThe course director is Dr Michael Fitzgerald and the co-ordinator is Andrew Wise. Lecturers are from the UKAEA\, the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL) together with leading European universities – all renowned experts in their fields. \n\n\n\n\nDeadline for registrations: 19 June 2026 – Payment in full by 26 June 2026 \n\n\n\n\nCosts\n\n\n\nRegistrationAccommodationTotal£440£1025£1465\n\n\n\nBank transfer details for payment\nSort Code: 83-27-23  \n\n\n\nAccount No. 00102300  \n\n\n\nIBAN No. GB54RBOS83272300102300  \n\n\n\nSwift/BIC Code: RBOSGB2L  \n\n\n\n\nFunding schemes\nStudents based in the European Union may be able to claim travel and accommodation funding for this summer school from FuseNet. Registration before the summer school is required. Visit www.fusenet.eu/funds for more details.  \n\n\n\nWe may be able to waive the registration fee (£440) for a few students originating from countries with a Human Development Index (HDI) value below 0.85. Please send a CV and a supporting statement to our course co-ordinator from your academic supervisor before 31 March. Preference will be given to students from countries with the lowest HDI and most relevant background.  \n\n\n\nWe will let applicants know of the results shortly after the deadline so that they can plan their travel.  \n\n\n\n\nWho can attend?\n\n\n\nThe Culham Plasma Physics Summer School is aimed at Masters and early-career PhD students. Students must be over 18 and generally will be in their final year of undergraduate or first year of post graduate study. We assume no previous knowledge of the subject\, but familiarity with electromagnetism and applied mathematics at first degree level will be helpful. \n\n\n\nEvents\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLectures\n\n\n\nAll lectures are in the Culham lecture theatre\, with the exception of those on the Tuesday of week 2\, which are on the Harwell site. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProblem sessions\n\n\n\nProblem sessions are in the Culham lecture theatre. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBanquet\n\n\n\n19:00 Thursday (week 2)St Edmund Hall Queen’s Ln\, Oxford OX1 4AR \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThames boat trip\n\n\n\n20:00 Friday (week 1)Boat departs from Folly Bridge\, Oxford\, OX1 4JU \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPoster session\n\n\n\nOne of the main benefits of the Culham Plasma Physics Summer School is the exchanges between the students. To facilitate this\, there is an informal poster session. The main objective is to enable students who are working in related areas to meet for discussions. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIf you want to organise a poster session\, there is no need to tell us the title in advance – just bring your poster along. For poster sessions you will need: \n\n\n\n\na brief outline of the area in which you are working – there is no expectation of original work. \n\n\n\na poster which fits the space 0.95 m wide and 1.2 m high – this is the only constraint for presentation  \n\n\n\n\nNote: It is NOT possible to print your poster at Culham Campus. \n\n\n\nTimetable\n\n\n\nRead the full timetable for the 63rd Culham Plasma Physics Summer School 2026. \n\n\n\n\nGo to the timetable\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAccommodation\n\n\n\n\n\nAccommodation is provided at the William R Miller building\, Dawson street\, Oxford.

We have a block booking including a continental breakfast (served in the common room at 07:50) for the summer school. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTransport\n\n\n\nGetting to Oxford\n\n\n\n\n\nBy road\n\n\n\nExit the A34 at Abingdon. Travel East\, through the town and exit on the A415.There are signs for Culham Campus / Culham Science Centre about 3 miles after crossing the river Thames. \n\n\n\n\n\nBy rail\n\n\n\nDidcot Station is within 5 miles of Culham Campus on the main line between London Paddington and Bristol Temple Meads. Culham station is approximately 10 minutes walk from the site. \n\n\n\n\n\nBy air\n\n\n\nOxford Tube and Oxford Bus Company operate a frequent and inexpensive service from Heathrow and from Gatwick to Oxford. \n\n\n\n\n\nBetween Oxford and Culham Campus\n\n\n\nCoach times\n\n\n\nA coach will be provided for the daily return journey between Oxford and Culham Campus every weekday. Departure time is 08:30 from Oxford. \n\n\n\nOn the second Tuesday of the school\, the bus will leave earlier at 08:00 for Rutherford Appleton Laboratory Harwell. \n\n\n\nReturn time varies according to timetable. Latest return at 17:00. \n\n\n\nOn the final day of the school\, the return coach will also stop at the central Oxford bus station. Students need to check out of the accommodation in the morning of the final Friday (unless staying for extra days) \n\n\n\nOn arrival\n\n\n\nRegistration will take place at the provided accommodation (the William Miller building) between 16:00 and 19:00 on the Sunday ahead of the first week. Please bring photo ID to registration as we need to issue Culham Campus passes at this time. \n\n\n\nStudents accommodated elsewhere (for example\, students who live locally or who have made their own arrangements)\, or who arrive too late to register on the Sunday\, should register at the summer school desk at Culham during the coffee and lunch breaks. Those registering on site will need to collect site passes from the Culham reception on the first Monday morning of the school (photo ID required). \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n63rd Culham Plasma Physics Summer School event details\n\n\n\nDate\n\n\n\n\n\nLocation\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBanner image: The Starry Night (1889) by Vincent van Gogh.
