FIA Launches Education and Research Partnership Program

On January 20th, the Fusion Industry Association (FIA) officially launched its new Education and Research Partnership. The program is designed for universities, national labs, research institutions, and individual researchers that support the advancement of fusion energy and the global fusion industry. 

We developed this program in response to increasing interest from universities, national labs, and research organizations seeking deeper engagement with the fusion industry. Strengthening collaboration across the global fusion industry has always been central to FIA’s mission, and fostering public-private partnerships has been a key focus since the very beginning. This program helps bring the full ecosystem of industry, research, and academia together to work closer than ever.

The partnership will convene bimonthly meetings featuring updates on the fusion industry, along with presentations from FIA member companies. The first meeting included an overview of the Fusion Industry Association and a welcome to the program from FIA CEO Andrew Holland. In addition to the bimonthly meetings, FIA will establish a working group that can meet as needed to support focused collaboration.

FIA looks forward to working with its Education and Research Partners as the program gets underway. Applications to join the Education and Research Partnership will remain open throughout the year, and FIA welcomes additional organizations interested in participating as the program continues to grow.

The Fusion Industry Association is the leading voice of the private fusion industry, representing 46 private fusion developers and over 100 suppliers, customers, and nonprofits. While the Education and Research Partnership Program is separate from our full and affiliate memberships, it furthers the FIA’s mission to strengthen collaboration across the entire fusion industry.
