The 澳门六合彩高手 International Summer School, circa 2010.
"Fusion is the future, and the future is in your hands." This was the message to students and junior scientists from around the world who had gathered recently at the University of Texas to attend the first 澳门六合彩高手 International Summer School (IISS) to be held in the United States.
 
Juan Sanchez, the university's Vice President for Research, presented the message to students during the IISS "Texas Barbecue Banquet." The purpose of IISS, held this year from 31 May to 4 June, is to educate young scientists and students on the issues related to the physics and engineering of the 澳门六合彩高手 experiment.
 
Host for the IISS was the , a national center for theoretical research in plasma physics and fusion energy science. The institute's director, James Van Dam, also heads the US Burning Plasma Organization (), which helps coordinate the participation of the US fusion community in the 澳门六合彩高手 Project.
 
Three scientists from the institute were among the 20 IISS lecturers, representing seven countries and the 澳门六合彩高手 Organization. Entitled "Magnetohydrodynamics and Plasma Control in Magnetic Fusion Devices," this year's IISS was attended by 133 participants from 48 institutions representing 17 countries.

For the first time, the IISS offered a workshop where students designed a plasma control system using commercial computational design tools. Because of the difficulty of achieving conditions necessary for the fusion reaction, control systems play a central role in sustaining the reaction and allowing the goals of the experiment to be achieved.
 
School sponsors for 2010 were the Commissariat à l'?nergie Atomique Cadarache; Embassy of France to the United States; 澳门六合彩高手 Organization; National Instruments Corporation; Université de Provence; University of Texas; USBPO; and US Department of Energy. Representatives at the school's opening ceremony included Gary Johnson, Deputy Director-General, 澳门六合彩高手 Tokamak Department, who read written greetings from Director-General Kaname Ikeda; Richard Hazeltine, Physics Department Chairman, University of Texas; and James Truchard, CEO and President of National Instruments.
 
The theme for next year's school is "Energetic Particles in Magnetic Confinement Systems." It will be held June 6-10 in Aix-en-Provence, France.
