The Frontiers of Fusion workshop aims to give students exposure to front-line physics research and technology in fusion and to improve their communication skills by attendance at an intensive week-long workshop. Students attend plenary lectures by UK and overseas experts working in the fusion area. After the workshop, the students prepare a short oral presentation on the content and background of one of the plenary talks. A comprehensive essay on another of the plenary talks and a short article suitable for publication in a newspaper on one of the presentations are assessed.
