ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ

The 7th ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ International School will be held on 25-29 August 2014 at ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ on the first day and downtown Aix-en-Provence on the second. The focus this year will be on "Highly parallel computing in modelling magnetically confined plasmas for nuclear fusion."

This subject has an interdisciplinary character: high-performance computing is a key-tool for facing problems in different fields of magnetically confined fusion. It is one of the main subjects for achieving the expected results in the future ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ reactor.

The ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ International school aims to prepare young scientists for working in the field of nuclear fusion and in research applications associated with the ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ Project.

The first ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ school was organized during July 2007 in Aix-en-Provence, and was focused on turbulent transport in fusion plasmas. Five different editions have followed: 2008 in Fukuoka, Japan (magnetic confinement); 2009 in Aix-en-Provence (plasma-surface interaction); 2010 in Austin, Texas (Magneto-Hydro-Dynamics); 2011 in Aix-en-Provence (energetic particles); and finally 2012 in Ahmedabad, India (on radio-frequency heating).
