"These recognitions highlight the growing respect for fusion"
— A key figure in fusion research in Switzerland and Europe, physicist and professor at EPFL, Ambrogio Fasoli, was recently inducted into three of the most prestigious scientific circles: the Academia Europaea for Europe, the Accademia dei Lincei for Italy, and the Swiss Academy of Engineering Sciences (SATW) for Switzerland. This triple recognition not only reflects his important contributions to plasma physics but also his leadership in advancing fusion research. Such a series of distinctions in a single year is no coincidence; it corresponds to a key moment in his career, marked by several major milestones: five years as President of the European Consortium for Fusion Energy (EUROfusion) from 2019 to 2023, his appointment as Programme Manager (CEO) of EUROfusion starting on January 1, 2024, and his nomination, effective January 1, 2025, as Provost of EPFL.
