The United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) has introduced the International Fellowships Scheme, a strategic move to lead in fusion energy development. Fusion energy, which involves fusing hydrogen nuclei into helium, offers a clean energy solution without long-lived radioactive waste. The UKAEA's initiative aims to create a global community of experts through partnerships and post-doctoral fellowships. By fostering international collaboration, the UKAEA envisions a future where fusion energy becomes a practical climate solution. The scheme, under the Fusion Opportunities in Skills, Training, Education and Research (FOSTER) programme, recruits post-doctoral researchers in pairs for two-year fellowships with international exchanges. Nanyang Technological University (NTU) in Singapore is the first partner in this endeavor. The collaboration between UKAEA and NTU signifies a crucial step in building a network of fusion researchers and innovators globally. The initiative not only cultivates future fusion leaders but also accelerates the transition of fusion energy from theory to a viable energy source. With a strong emphasis on international cooperation and diverse perspectives, the UKAEA's scheme aims to propel fusion energy towards practical implementation for a sustainable future.
