The EUROfusion consortium for the realisation of fusion energy has awarded sixteen EUROfusion “Bernard Bigot” Researcher Grants (ERG) to talented post-doctoral researchers across Europe. The ERG grants enable early-career researchers to develop innovative ideas and techniques to advance EUROfusion’s Roadmap to Fusion Energy.

The HyPRO consortium, arising from the GroenvermogenNL programme, will receive a grant of 34,511,995 euro. With contributions from industry added, 50,197,611 euro will allow the consortium to research more sustainable production of hydrogen.

Op 5 en 6 oktober 2024 is het weer zover: het Weekend van de Wetenschap. Een weekend waarin iedereen een kijkje achter de schermen kan nemen bij organisaties en instellingen in de wetenschap en techniek. Ook in Eindhoven, waar diverse organisaties hun deuren openen voor het publiek.

By launching 15 new research projects, EUROfusion is engaging data science experts across Europe to apply Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning techniques to fusion energy. DIFFER researcher Sven Wiesen will be working on the project ‘Machine learning accelerated Scrape Off Layer simulations: SOLPS-NN’.

Every week a different scientist takes over the X-account of the Universities of the Netherlands to tell something about the world of science. From 2-6 September it was Matthijs van Berkel's turn. Moreover, the group leader of the Energy Systems and Control group took part in the NPO Radio 1 programme De Nacht Van.
