The PhD in Plasma Physics and Nuclear Fusion, and the international graduate programs with which it is partnered, aims at maintaining and developing an integrated, coherent and coordinated focus on educational and research activities on fusion science and engineering in Spain and the European Union. The program provides a solid background in the field of plasma physics and nuclear fusion, their research methodology and the skills required to conduct a research work and a critical evaluation of outcomes. In close connection with the Erasmus Mundus Master in Plasma Physics and Nuclear Fusion (European Master of Science in Nuclear Fusion and Engineering Physics; FUSION-EP), in which Universidad Carlos III participates, the goal of our program is the training of researchers in the field of plasma physics and nuclear fusion, to primarily enable them to join either university research teams or specific projects in the field of fusion in the European Community, particularly the project of construction of the international fusion reactor ITER (International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor), currently in progress at Cadarache (France), which will require specialized human capital.
