At the end of July, the new Women in Fusion (WiF) website was launched. WiF is a global network that aims to achieve gender parity in fusion, improve diversity, and make women's contributions to fusion more visible.
Fusion holds the promise for a clean and sustainable future and will offer unlimited energy for generations to come. Although fusion for energy production has been around for more than 60 years, it is still in development. This generative phase offers an opportunity to create balanced gender participation, ensuring women provide knowledge and skills at all levels, including leadership roles.
Women in Fusion is a global platform for highlighting and encouraging the role of women in the fusion field, providing a tool for networking, and developing the needed evidence to shape policies around gender equity in fusion. Initiated by a collaboration of founding members, WiF aims to collaborate with members and organizations around the world, inspire local Chapters, and ensure that women fusioneers around the world have a platform for support and community building.
Anyone interested in WiF's mission is invited to join the Women in Fusion community.
