°ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ

°ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ science and technology was one of the topics that more than 80 students from across southeast Asia explored at the sixth ASEAN School on Plasma and Nuclear Fusion and Sokendai Winter School in Thailand in late January.

The school—which is organized by Sokendai University, the Thailand Institute of Nuclear Technology (TINT), and Walailak University with the support the IAEA and °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ—is part of Thailand's initiative to intensify its fusion research program and aims at promoting interaction between young talent in southeast Asian countries and leading researchers from around the world.

"The °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ Director-General gives his full support to the school by sharing the latest developments on °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ as well as the background and rationale of its science and advanced technology," said Jean Jacquinot, Senior Adviser to the Director-General of the °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ Organization, and one of the lecturers at the school.

In a rare moment off the playing field, 100 of France's top under 17 rugby players visited the °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ site last week, taking advantage of a selection camp organized locally to learn more about fusion and the °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ Project. 

The °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ visits team tailors its guided tours to groups of all sizes—from individuals to buses of 50 people. Since work began on the construction platform in 2007, 158,000 members of the public have passed through the gate, including 16,000 in 2019. Among the visitors last year were 7,000 French schoolchildren.
