European Fusion Theory Conference

The conference provides a discussion forum covering all areas of magnetic fusion-oriented theoretical activities in Europe.

Its main topics are:

1. Fusion devices: tokamaks, stellarators, reversed-field pinches, laser-induced ignition and new concepts
2. Macro-instabilities, operational limits and disruptions
3. Plasma confinement, neoclassical and turbulent plasma transport
4. Optimization of magnetic confinement devices and 3D magnetic field effects
5. Burning plasmas and fast particles
6. Heating, current drive, and wave particle interactions
7. Edge and scrape-off layer/divertor physics
8. Experimental validation of theoretical models and diagnostics development
9. Computational plasma physics
10. Basic plasma theory

The conference is typically held on odd-numbered years, at the end of September or the beginning of October.
