FUSION was formed in 2001 by students who recognised the
need to create a society for OU students and graduates whose primary interest is
in physics & astronomy. We have over 150 members many of whom are studying at
various levels of the physical sciences study program. We organise regular
events of interest to members, have a regular newsletter, a Facebook group. We
welcome current and past students or anyone with a general interest in physics
and astronomy.
