55 participants representing 7 countries55 participants representing 7 countries

The meeting will be organized with Overview and Invited talks around six broad topics of current interest:

• Designs concepts and issues for next-stage experiments and facilities

•Upcoming research plans

• Plasma science (experiment and/or theory-computation)

• Plasma diagnostics

• Engineering and Technology Science

• Concepts for future DEMO and power plants

The meeting ends with a summary session

STATISTICS

IAEA

The contributions are distributed by

• 5 Plenary Sessions

• 30 Invited Talks

• Poster session

The summary of the meeting will be submitted for publication in Nuclear Fusion journal.

Summaries provide a very important tool in helping the Agency to plan its activities in the different topics of Fusion. It gives a record of the main outputs of the meeting and will provide, in course of time, a history of the progress in different fusion topics

PROGRAMME

IAEA

• Submission of proceeding PAPERS: • Electronic versions of papers will be collected at the meeting. A manuscript of

about 7 pages for Oral and 5 pages for Poster contributions shall be prepared for inclusion on the meeting proceedings published by IAEA (it will be available on the web and will include presentations as well). Authors should submit it at the registration desk.

•Publication on Nuclear Fusion

•Authors are encourage to submit a modified version of their papers to NF for publication under a Special Issue on Spherical Tori. Dr. Martin Peng (Chair of the IAC) and Dr. Vasily Gusev (IAC member) will act as Guest Editor by invitation of NF Editor.

•Intention of submitting a paper for the Special Issue shall be arranged with the Guest Editors. It is expected that authors submitting to NF will be willing to referee one or two papers of their topics.

•Dead line for submission of papers is 20 November
