°ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ

Their names are Neils, Sander, Gonzalo, Carla and Marta, and they have two things in common. First, they had the occasion to visit the °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ worksite with their schools this week. Second, they are part of schools that have been coming, every year, since the beginning of the project.

On 9 May, 20 students from the Polytechnical University of Catalunya visited the worksite and received a technical presentation of the °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ Project to complement the 45 hours of coursework that they had accomplished on fusion during the semester.

The following day, a group of younger students ranging in age from 15 to 17 arrived from Gertrudis College in the Netherlands for a visit of the °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ site as well as the Tore Supra fusion facility at CEA.

Akko Maas, Senior Officer of the °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ Organization and a former student of Gertrudis College, enjoyed giving the youngsters a general explanation of the scientific and technical challenges of °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ.

According to the teachers of both establishments, these yearly visits are one of the best ways to keep track of the reality of construction progress.

See you next year, then!
