The Barcelona Supercomputing Center<\/a> (BSC), the Universitat Polit\u00e8cnica de Catalunya<\/a> (UPC), the European agency Fusion for Energy<\/a> (F4E) and b_TEC Foundation<\/a> invite all Secondary and High-school teachers<\/strong> to take part in a live webinar, coordinated by the European Fusion Education Network FuseNet, <\/strong>with connections in Catalan and Spanish from Barcelona and English from several spots in Europe on the 2nd of October 2020<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The webinar will aim at giving teachers the tools and knowledge they need in order to introduce fusion in the classrooms.<\/strong> Such state-of-the-art concepts can certainly be hard to introduce into schools, thus we truly think this is a fantastic opportunity to learn how to do it.<\/p>\n

Open to all science and physics teachers in Europe, the event consists of an\u00a0afternoon in which the newest developments in nuclear fusion<\/strong> as well as newly developed classroom materials on fusion<\/strong> are being presented. During the day you will get a look behind the scenes of the most groundbreaking fusion experiments of today<\/strong> and learn about fusion first-hand from experts in the field.<\/p>\n

Together with FuseNet, we would like to make knowledge of nuclear fusion accessible for everyone<\/strong>. To secure the future of nuclear fusion, a skilled and diverse fusion workforce is needed<\/strong>: young people should be welcomed to the fusion research and engineering community. For many people, secondary school teachers are the first\u202fambassadors of\u202fscience\u202fthey would meet in their lives: the impact of enthusiastic role-models with a passion for science on eager students is incredible.<\/strong>\u202fTherefore, with FuseNet we want to reach out to you as a teacher to provide you with classroom opportunities<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Among others, live connections will be made with the oldest and the largest tokamaks in operation<\/strong> as well with international fusion experiment ITER<\/strong>, and presentation material for in the classroom will be shared.<\/p>\n

More information on the event can be found here<\/a>. On these pages<\/a> you can sign up for the event by the 20th of September<\/strong> and find all relevant information, from the program for the day, to a step by step manual on how to set up your remote connection.<\/p>\n

Participation in the event and the material will be free of charge.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Catalan local programme of this event is organized under the auspices of the FusionCAT project with reference number 001-P-001722 that has been co-financed by the European Union Regional Development Fund within the framework of the ERDF Operational Program of Catalonia 2014-2020, with the support of Generalitat of Catalonia.<\/em><\/p>\n
