    Where Physics and Summer meet

Welcome to Plasmasurf 2025!

PlasmaSurf is a summer school on plasma physics, intense lasers and nuclear fusion, tailored for BSc/MSc engineering and physics students. It is a great opportunity to get an insight into these topics with a view to a future career, or to complement your curricular training by broadening your knowledge in an exciting and forefront area of physics.

Complementary to PlasmaSurf, we offer a MOOC in plasma diagnostics included in a Blended Intensive Programme that can grant you 3 ECTS!
Get to know more details in Programme.

We ask everyone to register the earlier they can to benefit from a partial lodgement stipend
in case you fail in getting a grant (Like a BIP or Fusenet support).

Testimonials

One of the main goals of the course is to promote a lively interaction between the students and lecturers during the breaks, visits and lunchtime. In addition to the lectures, there will be plenty of outdoor activities - including surfing!

PlasmaSurf is organized by Instituto de Plasmas e Fusão Nuclear, a research unit of Instituto Superior Técnico, University of Lisbon.
