About the event
Join CATF’s Sehila M. Gonzalez de Vicente at the Economist Impact’s Fusion Fest 2025. Sehila will moderate an interactive roundtable hosted by Women in Fusion.
Interactive roundtable: Fusion needs you: how to drive workforce diversity?
13:30 – 14:30 BST
The race to commercial fusion isn’t just about physics and engineering – it’s about people. To solve one of the world’s biggest energy challenges, the industry needs the brightest minds from all backgrounds. But is the fusion sector doing enough to attract, retain, and empower a truly diverse workforce? This interactive roundtable explores the barriers to entry and advancement for underrepresented groups in fusion, from gender and racial diversity to interdisciplinary talent. How can the sector ensure that diverse perspectives shape the future of fusion? What role do mentorship, leadership opportunities, and workplace culture play in building an inclusive industry? And as AI and automation transform fusion research, could emerging technologies help remove bias—or reinforce it?
Join fellow professionals, researchers, and industry leaders to discuss practical solutions for making fusion a field where everyone can contribute and thrive. Places at this VIP roundtable are limited and subject to approval. If you’d like to register your interest, please email [email protected]
