EUROfusion spearheads advances in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning to unlock fusion energy – By launching 15 new research projects, EUROfusion is engaging data science experts across Europe to apply Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning techniques to fusion energy.

From the article

>To achieve this, we need to address complex physics and engineering challenges, including understanding the collective movements of charged particles in magnetic fields, mitigating disruption events, analysing material erosion effects, and processing data rapidly enough for use in control loops. Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning offer new opportunities to deepen our understanding of these phenomena.

>Following a call and selection process, the EUROfusion General Assembly approved the support for 15 new Artificial Intelligence Fusion research projects. The strong response to the call highlights the scientific community’s commitment to using state-of-the-art approaches to advance computational techniques for magnetically confined plasmas.

>The 15 projects will receive a total amount of €2.659 million, of which half is provided by collaborative co-funding from the researchers’ home institutes and half from EUROfusion. The research projects will run for a period of two years.
