 The conference provides a discussion forum covering all areas of magnetic fusion-oriented theoretical activities in Europe. Its main topics are:
-# Basic plasma theory
+# Fusion devices: tokamaks, stellarators, reversed-field pinches, laser-induced ignition and new concepts
-# Macroinstabilities and operational limits
+# Macro-instabilities, operational limits and disruptions
-# Alternative concepts: stellarators, RFP's, spherical tokamaks, etc.
+# Plasma confinement, neoclassical and turbulent plasma transport
-# Turbulent transport and structures: experimental evidence and theoretical basis
+# Optimization of magnetic confinement devices and 3D magnetic field effects
-# Neoclassical transport: theory and experimental evidence
 # Burning plasmas and fast particles
 # Heating, current drive, and wave particle interactions
-# Edge and SOL/divertor physics
+# Edge and scrape-off layer/divertor physics
-# Computational modelling in plasma physics
+# Experimental validation of theoretical models and diagnostics development
+# Computational plasma physics
+# Basic plasma theory
 The conference is typically held on odd-numbered years, at the end of September or the beginning of October.
