IHA as part of European Fusion Education Network
FUSENET
The aim of the FUSENET project is the establishment of a European Fusion Education Network (FUSENET) for education in fusion science and technology, in order to increase, enhance, and broaden fusion training and education activities in Europe.
FUSENET started in October 2008 as a Coordination and Support Action under the seventh Framework Programme, with financial support of the European Commission. The project consists of eleven focused work packages, with a total budget of 2 Million Euro. The project, which will run until October 2012, brings together a broad representation of the European fusion community with 36 participants from 18 countries, of which 22 Universities and 14 Euratom Associations.
The project consists of four groups of coordination actions: the establishment and running of the FUSENET network; development of individual learning opportunities and common educational goals; development of educational materials and hands-on experiments; and funding of joint educational activities.

As a part of work package 9.2, IHA has developed a Virtual ITER tokamak tool for online experimentation. This tool allows the user to navigate in the virtual environment exploring the ITER model. It also includes pre-programmed virtual tours for presenting fusion science and technology related to ITER reactor. The virtual tours incorporate pieces of information about the reactor.
