Nuclear energy is clean, economical and powerful, but it comes with risks. As the world moves away from fossil fuels, it has no choice but to learn about these risks to ensure that electricity can be generated when the wind doesn't blow and the sun doesn't shine.

The Fermion Summer School aims to give participants a basic understanding of nuclear energy and show what the future of this scientific and economic sector will look like in the next 2-20 years. With this knowledge, myths can be successfully busted and a better understanding of one of the most complex and controversial topics in Estonia and the world can be gained. 

Fermion's summer school is primarily aimed at undergraduate students, but we will also consider slightly younger and older nuclear enthusiasts if possible - just fill in the application form with details of your interest. 

The subject or field of interest you have already chosen at university does not necessarily have to be related to nuclear energy, but an interest in energy, climate change or physics is certainly an advantage. Nuclear energy is linked to many disciplines - geology, environmental protection, economics, psychology, communication, international relations, security, etc. - but it is not always a good idea to have an interest in science or technology. With this in mind, we have also designed a collection of presentations, games and practical exercises so that everyone can get involved, regardless of whether nuclear energy seems scary or exciting. A summer school participant will gain a knowledge of nuclear energy that no physics textbook or online course can offer.
