SUMMARY:Fusion Pathways
DESCRIPTION:Fusion Pathways is a 2-day networking and engagement event being held on 2 and 3 December 2026. The event welcomes students interested in helping deliver sustainable fusion energy to Culham Campus to discover opportunities across the sector. \n\n\n\nTickets are very limited\, so early booking is recommended – don’t miss out\, take the next step to launch your career in fusion. \n\n\n\nWho should attend\n\n\n\nThis event is for undergraduate and graduate students that are interested in continuing their academic studies with either a PhD or MSc\, or are interested in a career in fusion and want to learn more about the opportunities available. \n\n\n\nWhat to expect\n\n\n\nCome along to: \n\n\n\n\ntake a tour behind the scenes at various fusion facilities at Culham Campus\, home of the UK Atomic Energy Authority\n\n\n\nnetwork with:\n\nacademics\n\n\n\ncurrent students from a range of universities\n\n\n\nthe Fusion Power and Fusion Engineering CDTs\n\n\n\nUKAEA staff\n\n\n\nindustry partners\n\n\n\n\n\nfind out more about postgraduate opportunities in fusion and related research\n\n\n\nlisten to talks to learn about different areas of fusion research and application attend a casual fusion-focused careers fair\n\n\n\nparticipate in a poster presentation session\n\n\n\n\nWednesday 2 December\n\n\n\nJoin the Fusion Power and Fusion Engineering Centres for Doctoral Training along with universities representing fusion-focused MScs to learn more about postgraduate opportunities in fusion and related research. \n\n\n\nThursday 3 December\n\n\n\nAttend a careers-focused day organised by the UK Fusion Student Network to explore other routes in to the wider fusion sector.  Take a look at the agenda menu for the current list of confirmed companies attending (this will be updated as we get closer to the conference).  \n\n\n\nA full agenda is available on the event registration page.  \n\n\n\nRegistration\n\n\n\nIf you are a current undergraduate with an interest in fusion energy\, then you should: \n\n\n\n\nregister for Wednesday 2 December if you are interested in continuing your academic studies with either a PhD or an MSc\n\n\n\n register for Thursday 3 December if you are interested in working in the sector\n\n\n\n\nIf you would like to attend both days\, please ensure you complete both registration forms. \n\n\n\nWe are also organising tours of various UKAEA facilities (subject to capacity) over the 2 days. These will run concurrent with other events\, so please register for one tour per day. \n\n\n\n Accommodation for the night of 2 December is available only to delegates who are attending both days of the event\, and live more than 15 miles from Culham Campus. If you require accommodation\, please ensure you select the Accommodation ticket when registering. \n\n\n\n On 3 December\, as part of the programme\, we will be hosting a poster session and careers fair between 2:00pm and 3:00pm. If you would like to present a poster\, please select ‘Poster Submission’ to submit your abstract for consideration. \n\n\n\nAny students travelling more than 15 miles to attend the event can claim travel expenses up to £100. Expenses can be claimed after the event subject to provision of receipts.  We will also book hotel rooms for students travelling more than 15 miles who attend both days. \n\n\n\n\n\nTicket and key dates\n\n\n\nThis event is in person at Culham Campus. \n\n\n\nPlease ensure your ticket is booked by 20 November 2026.  \n\n\n\nPlaces are limited due to the room capacity\, so early booking is recommended. If your place is confirmed\, you must read the site emergency slides before arriving\, these can be found here: Site emergency information. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent details\n\n\n\nDate\n\n\n\n\n\nLocation

SUMMARY:Remote Operations in Challenging Environments Training Course
DESCRIPTION:What does it take to maintain or decommission a plant using remotely operated robots and cameras?\n\n\n\nThis course aims to provide managers\, designers and operators with a broad view of the Remote Operations specialism including: \n\n\n\n\ndesign and specification of remotely operated equipment\n\n\n\nrules for tool design\n\n\n\nsoftware infrastructure must-haves for efficiency\, safety and accountability\n\n\n\nrisk reduction measures in high consequence environments\n\n\n\nbuilding a remote operations team – people\, processes and culture\n\n\n\nplant design considerations\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWho this course is for?\n\n\n\nThis course is designed for professionals involved in strategy\, design and operations from organisations: \n\n\n\n\nat the concept design stage – seeking to understand how to ‘design for remote’ and its impact on commercial viability\n\n\n\nwithout remote operations experience – needing to learn how to develop a functioning system and build a successful team\n\n\n\naiming to operate ‘safer\, faster\, more cost‑effectively’ – looking to introduce human-in-the-loop remote operations\n\n\n\nlooking to upskill their workforce in remote operations while leveraging existing remote infrastructure and facilities\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOur approach\n\n\n\nInteractive and engaging courses: discussions and hands-on sessions reinforce the core principles. \n\n\n\nUse of industry-leading robotic equipment at RACE for firsthand experience. \n\n\n\nUniversal application of principles: While the principles taught have been developed in the fusion sector\, they are relevant to any environment where remote equipment is used and mistakes could be costly. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRemote handling at UKAEA\n\n\n\nRACE is the UKAEA’s centre for Remote Applications in Challenging Environments. Its Remote Handling Team has been remotely maintaining the Joint European Torus (JET)\, a fusion machine located in Oxfordshire\, since the 1980s. Currently\, in its decommissioning phase\, JET is being stripped from the inside out using teleoperated equipment deployed on robotic booms. \n\n\n\nWith over 30\,000 hours of in-vessel operational experience\, RACE provides training and consultancy services to remote handling teams in the UK\, the US\, Sweden and Fukushima in Japan\, spanning the fusion\, big science and nuclear decommissioning sectors. \n\n\n\nUtilising robotics to perform tasks ensures the safety of personnel by keeping them out of hazardous environments\, speeds up task completion and reduces costs. Such specialised experience is rare in the industry due to the time required to develop it. Through this course\, we aim to share our knowledge and equip professionals across various sectors with the essential skills for remote operations. \n\n\n\n\n\nThe Remote Handling Training Course – developing skills with UKAEA.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent details\n\n\n\nDates\n\n\n\n\n\nLocation
