The Significance of Trainees
Trainees play a pivotal role in safeguarding the inter-generational dimension of our work in fusion research. By bridging the gap between experienced professionals and the next generation of innovators, trainees ensure the transfer of knowledge, expertise, and passion for fusion energy across time and generations.
About the Traineeship Scheme
F4E’s Traineeship Scheme offers recent graduates the opportunity to gain hands-on experience in technical and support areas while contributing to our groundbreaking projects. As a trainee, you will be immersed in a dynamic work environment, collaborating with experts, and acquiring skills essential for your professional growth.
Your Impact
As a trainee at F4E, you will have the chance to make a meaningful impact on our projects and initiatives. Under the guidance of experienced mentors, you will contribute to the advancement of fusion research while developing your skills and expertise in your chosen field.
Fusion for Energy (F4E) is the European Union’s Joint Undertaking for ITER and the Development of Fusion Energy.
The organisation was created under the Euratom Treaty by a decision of the Council of the European Union in order to meet three objectives:
F4E is responsible for providing Europe’s contribution to ITER, the world’s largest scientific partnership that aims to demonstrate fusion as a viable and sustainable source of energy. ITER brings together seven parties that represent half of the world’s population – the EU, Russia, Japan, China, India, South Korea and the United States.
F4E also supports fusion research and development initiatives through the Broader Approach Agreement, signed with Japan – a fusion energy partnership which will last for 10 years. Ultimately, F4E will contribute towards the construction of demonstration fusion reactors. F4E is established for a period of 35 years from 19 April 2007 and is located in Barcelona, Spain.
