10th °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ International School in January

The °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ International School aims to prepare young scientists/engineers for work in the field of nuclear fusion and in research applications associated with the °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ Project. The 10th edition will be held from 21 to 25 January in Daejeon, Korea.

The 10th °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ International School (IIS) will be held on 21-25 January 2019 at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) on the subject of "The Physics and Technology of Power Flux Handling in Tokamaks."

This subject has an interdisciplinary character: power flux handling in tokamaks is key challenge for the development of nuclear fusion, but one that can only be resolved through the integration of physics-based approaches to decrease power fluxes on the tokamak wall together with technological developments for tokamak wall components.

The choice of ''school format'' for IIS was adopted due to the need to prepare future scientists/engineers on a range of different topics and to provide them with a wide overview of the interdisciplinary skills required by the °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ Project.

The first °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ school—in July 2007 in Aix-en-Provence, France—was organized on the topic of turbulent transport in fusion plasmas. Eight different editions have followed: Fukuoka, Japan, on magnetic confinement (2008); Aix-en-Provence on plasma-surface interactions (2009); Austin, Texas (US) on magneto-hydro-dynamics (2010); Aix-en-Provence on energetic particles (2011); Ahmedabad, India, on radio-frequency heating (2012); Aix-en-Provence on high performance computing in fusion science (2014); Hefei, China, on transport and pedestal physics in tokamaks (2015); and finally Aix-en-Provence on the physics of disruptions and control (2017).
