We would like to inform you that Fusion for Energy (F4E) has launched a scheme for 2009 summer studentships (“stage”) with stays of a period of 2-3 months at F4E. The scheme aims to promote awareness, knowledge and understanding of F4E's role in the ITER project and within the European context, as well as to provide short-term training to university students.

This year' s scheme should be considered as a pilot exercise after which the outcome of the exercise will be assessed and possibly implemented on a more permanent basis. Interested candidates will find detailed information on the conditions of the scheme and how to apply via the following link
