The first documentary film Starmaker was released in 2022 by the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority UKAEA. It retraced the journey of the passionate group of men and women working at the JET tokamak to realize the promise of fusion energy.

Starmakers 2 is the exciting sequel, taking us behind the scenes at JET during its final year of groundbreaking scientific operations. The film also takes a step back in time to explore the human stories and legacy of this iconic facility, which continues to pave the way for future advancements in fusion science and technology.

The film premieres on 23 January 2025 at the Cornerstone Arts Centre in Didcot. (See ticketing information .) Its availability after release on digital platforms will be announced at a later date. 

The 2025 Symposium on Fusion Engineering () is planned from 23 to 26 June 2025 in Boston, Massachusetts, hosted by the MIT Plasma Science & Fusion Center. 

Abstract submission has been extended through 24 January 2025.  Early bird conference registration will open on 5 March, the same day abstract acceptance decisions are sent out.

Held biennially since 1965, SOFE is coordinated by the Fusion Technology Committee of the IEEE/NPSS (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers/Nuclear & Plasma Sciences Society). It is an international conference open to all engineering, physics and material science disciplines involved in the pursuit of producing the components and systems needed to advance fusion physics and technology.
