In anticipation of the start of ITER operation, the Centre National de Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), Université de Provence and CEA are jointly launching a series of "ITER Physics Summer Schools". Their main goal is to offer advanced graduate students and recent PhDs a complete picture of both the theoretical and experimental aspects of tokamak physics.
The first Summer School will take place on July 16-20, 2007 at Aix-en-Provence, in parallel with the Fusion Theory Festival which is organized every odd year, and is devoted to the problems of turbulent transport in magnetic fusion devices. The emphasis of the first School will be on the physics of turbulent transport and its implications on confinement.
