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\nEvent details\n\n\n\nDates\n\n\n\n\n\nLocation

SUMMARY:Third Visualizing Offline and Live Data with AI (VOLDA) workshop - 2026
DESCRIPTION:The Third Visualizing Offline and Live Data with AI (VOLDA) workshop will take place at The Cosener’s House\, Abingdon\, United Kingdom. The UK Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) organises the workshop. \n\n\n\nVOLDA brings together the fusion community to explore advanced scientific visualisation\, digital twin environments\, and interactive data interpretation workflows\, alongside artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques that support insight generation from complex fusion experiments and simulations. \n\n\n\nOver 3 days\, the workshop will focus on practical experience\, lessons learned\, and innovative approaches for visualising\, analysing\, and interacting with large-scale fusion data from offline simulation outputs to live experimental streams. \n\n\n\nThe programme will include invited and contributed presentations\, structured discussions\, and opportunities for collaboration across research organisations and industry. \n\n\n\nAbstract submission\n\n\n\nWe invite authors to submit abstracts aligned with the conference topics of the Third Visualizing Offline and Live Data with AI (VOLDA) Workshop – 2026. \n\n\n\nAll submissions must come through the online submission system.  The programme committee will review submissions for relevance and scientific quality.  \n\n\n\nThe workshop offers two contribution categories: \n\n\n\n\nContributed Presentation – accepted submissions will be oral presentations within the technical programme.\n\n\n\nDiscussion Contributions – accepted submissions will be structured interactive sessions and roundtable discussions.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration\n\n\n\nParticipation in the workshop is by acceptance of abstract only.  \n\n\n\nWe will notify authors of the outcome of the review process. Once an abstract is accepted\, we will invite presenting authors and discussion participants to complete the registration process. The registration form will be available at a later date. We will provide instructions to accepted participants. \n\n\n\nParticipation is moderated\, and places are limited due to room capacity. \n\n\n\nWho can attend\n\n\n\nThe workshop is intended for researchers\, designers\, engineers\, and developers working in scientific visualisation\, fusion data interpretation\, digital twins\, interactive diagnostic systems\, real-time data platforms\, and AI and ML applications supporting insight generation in fusion research. \n\n\n\nWe particularly welcome participants developing or applying advanced visualisation workflows\, immersive and XR tools\, and interactive systems for exploring complex experimental and simulation data. \n\n\n\nDue to high demand and limited availability\, please register only if you are confident you can attend. \n\n\n\nKey dates\n\n\n\n\nWorkshop dates: 27 to 29 October 2026\n\n\n\nAbstract submission deadline: 30 April 2026\n\n\n\nNotification of Acceptance: 10 May 2026\n\n\n\n\nNote: We may close submissions early if capacity is reached. \n\n\n\n\n\nVisas and Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA)\n\n\n\nCheck if you need a visa or ETA on the UK government website. We recommend applying at least 16 weeks before the event. \n\n\n\nIf you require an invitation letter\, please email the organising team with your full name\, organisation\, and nationality as stated in your passport. \n\n\n\nWe encourage International participants to submit their abstracts as early as possible to allow sufficient time for visa processing. \n\n\n\n\n\nEvent details\n\n\n\nDate\n\n\n\n\n\nLocation
