FIA Hosts Third Annual Virtual Summer Seminar Program

Building a Global Fusion Energy Industry, From the FIA

The Fusion Industry Association will launch its third annual Summer Seminar Program on June 11. The program is open to interns and young professionals at FIA member and affiliate member companies, as well as participants of the FIA Education and Partnership Program. It aims to expand awareness of fusion development across both policy and industry. Throughout the series, participants will engage directly with leaders at the forefront of policy, regulation, investment, and commercial fusion development.

Running from June through July, the series will feature weekly Zoom discussions and Q&A sessions led by industry experts. Seminars will cover a range of topics, providing participants with a comprehensive understanding of the fusion ecosystem. Topics will include public-private partnerships, fusion investment, regulatory frameworks, and other key issues shaping the future of the industry.

As the fusion sector continues to grow, FIA is committed to supporting the next generation of professionals and practitioners by helping them develop the knowledge and connections needed to enter the field, and looks forward to providing a platform where emerging talent can learn from and engage with experienced leaders across the fusion community.

For more information about participating in the Summer Seminar Program, please contact FIA Director of External Affairs, Caroline Anderson.

Common Fusion Approaches

Magnetic confinement: Plasma is heated to 100 million °C or more, then squeezed and held in place by strong magnetic fields, allowing many fusion reactions to occur. (Example: tokamaks, stellarators)

Inertial confinement: Tiny fuel pellets are struck by powerful lasers. The outer layer explodes outward, compressing the core to fusion conditions for a few nanoseconds, producing a brief but intense pulse of energy from each pellet. (Example: National Ignition Facility)

Hybrid systems: Combine compression (e.g., from lasers, plasma pistons, or mechanical impact) with moderate magnetic fields to reduce energy losses and improve confinement.

Electrostatic fusion: Uses high electric potentials to accelerate ions toward a central reaction zone, causing them to collide at high energies and fuse. The ions are guided and confined by electric fields rather than magnets, creating a compact environment for fusion reactions.
