<p>The European Southern Observatory (ESO) is an intergovernmental organization that designs, constructs and operates powerful ground-based observing facilities&nbsp;for astronomy. It currently operates three unique world class observing sites in the Atacama Desert region of Chile and is building the&nbsp;Extremely Large Telescope, which will be the largest optical/near-infrared telescope in the world.&nbsp;</p> <p>Professor Xavier Barcons, the Director General of ESO, was a guest on site at ITER on Friday 15 September. After exchanges with management and an extended tour of the worksite, he delivered a guest lecture to hundreds of members of the ITER community who were present in the amphitheatre or logged on remotely.</p> <p>"What we can say, to start, is that we both work with plasmas, although many orders of magnitude apart in size," said ITER Director-General Pietro Barabaschi in his introduction of Professor Barcons. "And there are other things that we share—we are delivering research infrastructures at the frontier of science and technology, we are unique in our fields, and we face common challenges not only in engineering and technology ... but also in procurement, administration and staffing issues such as diversity. Beyond the pleasure of welcoming Professor Barcons today, we also hope to find areas where we can assist one another."</p> <p><strong><em>You can learn more about the European Southern Observatory <a href="https://www.eso.org/public/">here</a>.</em></strong></p&gt;

<p>Do you want to be more involved in the promotion of fusion education in Europe? Do you have ideas on how to make the fusion scientific community bigger? Do you want to give input as a student to <a href="https://fusenet.eu/">FuseNet</a&gt;, the European Fusion Education Network?&nbsp;</p> <p>The FuseNet Student Council is a separate advisory body in which Master and PhD students from member institutions across Europe convene and provide input to the Board of Governors. Members of the Student Council take part in Work Packages, and they are responsible for the organization of the FuseNet Master Event.&nbsp;The Student Council convenes predominantly online but also has at least one live meeting each year at the FuseNet PhD Event.</p> <p>All current Master and PhD students affiliated with a FuseNet member institution are welcome to apply. Member terms are one year with the possibility of a one-year extension.</p> <p><em><strong>The deadline is 10 October 2023.
