The Science Museum in South Kensington will host a new international conference on Tuesday 18th October which will showcase the goals and vision of the global fusion community.
The hybrid event, which is organised by UK Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) and The UK Fusion Cluster founding partners, will see attendees joining virtually or in-person where they can choose from a wide range of panel discussions and keynote speeches.
FUSION22 will explore the exciting developments in fusion that could lead to near limitless and low carbon energy in the future. It will also address the challenges the industry is facing to help accelerate the pace of development.
As the home of human ingenuity, the Science Museum was considered the perfect location to unite the global fusion energy community as it is rich with history yet forward-facing and dynamic.
FUSION22 will take place across two of the Science Museum’s event spaces – Illuminate and the Information Age Gallery. Level 5 of Illuminate will be used for networking, coffee breaks and lunch, with Level 4 and the Information Age galley hosting the panel sessions and keynote speeches.
Prof. Ian Chapman, UK Atomic Energy Authority Chief Executive, said: “We are thrilled to be bringing FUSION22 to the iconic Science Museum this October. It’s a unique opportunity to showcase the many exciting developments happening in the world of fusion right now, and hear from the people striving to deliver safe, sustainable, low carbon electricity to the grid.”
Bryony Mitchison, Events Sales and Operations Manager, says: “We’re really looking forward to hosting FUSION22, a first of its kind global conference, at the Science Museum. We’re well equipped to host hybrid events meaning both in-person and virtual delegates will have access to the same top-quality content and standout event experience.”
