Call for Papers

The aim of the conference

Exchange of scientific information and technology and sharing ideas, innovations, experience, and methodology in all aspects of plasma physics and its applications. As in any rapidly developing scientific area, the frontiers of knowledge in plasma physics are becoming increasingly isolated and the expertise of its practitioners is more and more specialized. Therefore, the exchange of ideas between theorists and experimentalists on one hand and between practitioners and industrialists on the other hand is of the utmost importance. Hence, researchers, industrialists and students are invited to participate in the conference and to present their work and recent research projects. The organizing committee will do its upmost to ensure that the conference is a fruitful and enjoyable event for all its participants.

The program

The scientific program will include oral sessions and a poster session. Each oral session will include one presentation of 45 minutes (40 minutes for the lecture followed by a 5 minutes discussion) and two presentations of 20 minutes each (15 minutes for the lecture followed by a 5 minutes discussion). The following subjects will be discussed in the various sessions: basic plasma physics and astrophysics, radiation sources, plasma applications and industrial processes, thermonuclear fusion, interaction of laser and matter and more. The lectures will be delivered in English.

Timetable

15/1/2001 - Deadline for submitting abstracts (in English)
