Seminar
A long-range plan has been created by the US Department of Fusion Energy Sciences Advisory Committee (FESAC) to accelerate the development of fusion energy and advance plasma science within the US program. This plan is based on substantial input from the research community, which conveyed a wealth of creative ideas and its passion to accelerate fusion energy development and advance plasma science over an intensive two-year process.

Symposium
Are you currently a fusion or plasma physics master student, or are you starting next academic year? Looking for an opportunity to meet the community and learn more about this fascinating subject?
On the 5th and 6th of October, the first-ever FuseNet Master Event will take place! All master students in fusion-related fields are welcome to join the online event. The event will be interesting to both students who are just getting started in fusion, and to students who are graduating. In two days, you will learn about state-of-the-art fusion topics and the role of industry in interactive... Read more

Abstract
With the recent detection of gravitational waves and the photograph' of a black hole horizon, the dynamics of these objects and their environment has moved center stage in astrophysics. The conversion of gravitational energy into electromagnetic radiation by accretion of plasma flows onto the black hole is the crucial energy source producing the picture of the horizon of the black hole. It is also the cause of the acceleration of giant plasma jets to relativistic velocities.

Symposium
In the development of new technologies, many researchers and companies run into heat transfer and heat dissipation problems. During this ILO-net Symposium, three speakers will outline the challenges the industry faces in solving these thermal problems. Also the collaboration with the scientific community to arrive at solutions is highlighted.
Speakers
Annamarie Stanton, Hardware Architect at Topic Embedded Systems
Thermal Aspects in Electronic Hardware Design
