About

We are MancheSTAR Fusion Society aiming to be the bridge between academia and students.

MancheSTAR is the UK’s first student-led fusion society, founded by undergraduate students at the University of Manchester. It aims to provide all members of the University of Manchester with opportunities to learn about fusion, connect with industry partners, develop skills relevant to the fusion industry, and raise interest in future career pathways.

The society is led and directed by an executive committee that is elected annually by members of the society. The society is made up of 3 taskforces: Education, Industry, and Projects, which each have their own taskforce leader who is elected in the same manner as the committee. These leaders report to the committee on their progress on the goals that are set and ideas they are developing. They are also responsible for communicating and coordinating with the other taskforce leaders where taskforce
activities overlap. General society members are those who join the society to attend events, lectures and support society activities.
