During the weeks of June 2nd-13th 2025, PPPL virtually hosted an intensive course on plasma and fusion energy sciences, taught by world renowned scientists from various national and international institutions. The course was targeted at undergraduate students interested in plasma physics and fusion energy science and is open to public at large.

Registration was free and participants that attend the full course and complete a deliverable by the due date (July 13, 2025) will receive a certificate of completion.

The introductory course was fully conducted via Zoom, and in half-day sessions (12PM-4PM ET) in order to accommodate various time zones.

The content reflected the broad research under the Fusion Energy Sciences and Plasma Physics umbrella, including discovery plasma sciences, magnetic fusion energy, fusion materials and technology and high energy density plasmas.
