Members of the Czech Fusion Society are scientific institutions, universities, and research centers that participate in the study of plasma, nuclear and materials physics, and in the development of technologies for the future use of thermonuclear fusion.
It focuses on both experimental and theoretical research of high-temperature plasma in tokamaks, laser plasma, low-temperature plasma, and plasma chemistry, as well as related materials research and the development of optical components. As the operator of the COMPASS tokamak, it is a key partner of the EUROfusion consortium and the coordinator of thermonuclear fusion research in the Czech Republic.

Ing. Ivan Ďuran Ph.D.
The Faculty of Electrical Engineering (FEL) at the University of West Bohemia in Pilsen is a technical faculty focused on education and research in electrical engineering, IT, energy, and other related fields. It offers bachelor's, master's, and doctoral programs and actively collaborates with industrial partners on research projects. The faculty has a robust research infrastructure concentrated in the Research and Innovation Centre for Electrical Engineering (RICE), bringing together over 200 experts. Its main areas of expertise include power electronics, control and diagnostics of electrical drives, materials and sensor research, modern energy systems, and intelligent systems. A significant part of its activities also involves research in advanced nuclear and fusion technologies.

Ing. Pavel Turjanica, Ph.D.
It represents a dynamic university and research center focused primarily on frontier topics at the intersection of modern science and its technical applications. Teaching is based on a solid foundation in mathematics as well as theoretical and experimental physics, computer science, and chemistry. In terms of fusion research and education, the faculty provides training from the bachelor's to PhD level and operates the unique GOLEM tokamak, which can be controlled remotely via the Internet.

RNDr. Jana Brotánková, Ph.D.
It is operating the HELCZA high-heat-flux testing facility, which is capable of testing and validating first-wall concepts intended for ITER at heat flux levels of units to tens of MW/m². Innovative solutions for plasma-facing components are also being developed, from initial concepts and calculations through manufacturing prototypes to subsequent experimental verification on the HELCZa facility. Further activities of CVŘ focus on liquid metal technology, with an emphasis on tritium generation in breeding blankets.

Ing. Ladislav Vála, Ph.D.
The Department of Energy Engineering provides students with solid theoretical foundations and a comprehensive overview of all mechanical engineering aspects of thermal energy. Students can specialize in a narrower field of energy according to their interests (e.g., thermal energy, nuclear energy, industrial energy). Studying energy engineering gives strong theoretical knowledge and the opportunity to pursue a PhD in a subsequent doctoral program. The faculty has its own computational and heavy-duty laboratory (Juliska) equipped to a top-level standard, permanently available to all students.

Ing. Hynek Hadraba, Ph.D.
The Faculty of Mathematics and Physics at Charles University is one of the most important research and educational institutions in the Czech Republic. The word "Matfyz" is considered a synonym for excellence in science, teaching, and comprehensive support of talented students. Faculty staff and doctoral students participate in international research collaborations and are active in a number of world-class research centers and infrastructures in physics, mathematics, computer science, and related fields. Matfyz graduates can also be found in many top companies or at prestigious foreign universities.

prof. RNDr. Milan Tichý, DrSc.
It is the largest Czech facility focused on fundamental experimental and theoretical research in nuclear physics. Its main equipment consists of four accelerators. Two of the institute's cyclotrons house neutron sources, which enable the study of neutron reactions important for fusion. Nuclear analytical methods, as well as neutron diffraction and scattering, are also used for the study of fusion materials.
