24th Coordinated Working Group Meeting

We are pleased to announce that the 24th Coordinated Working Group Meeting of the Stellarator-Heliotron Technology Collaboration Programme under the Auspices of the International Energy Agency will be held September 5th -6th, 2024, in Higashi-Hiroshima, Japan. This CWGM directly precedes the upcoming ISHW from September 9th to 13th in Hiroshima, and attending the CWGM can be combined with the ISHW.

The CWGM is a working meeting, not a scientific conference. It fosters and promotes international collaborations within the Stellarator-Heliotron community and synergies with tokamaks and other magnetic field configurations. The meeting outcome will be agreed-upon joint actions and recommended joint experiments for the Stellarator-Heliotron Technology Collaboration Programme members.

The program covers strategic discussions for task forces, joint actions, tokamak/stellarator cooperation, and future directions for the stellarator-type reactor. Please get in touch with the following colleagues if you intend to contribute to the following topics:

Core transport and confinement in multi-ion plasmas
M. Nunami (NIFS)
D. Carralero (CIEMAT)
Energy, particle, and impurity transport in the SOL and divertor
A. Bader (Type One Energy)
V. Winters (IPP)
Energetic Particles, MHD, and High-Beta
A. Knieps (FZJ)
A. Wright (UW Madison)

Dates:

September 5th (Thu) -6th (Fri), 2024
