2015 IPP Summer University for Plasma Physics and Fusion Research

Also in 2015, the Max-Planck Institute for Plasma Physics (IPP) organizes its annually returning Summer University on the main aspects of plasma physics with emphasis on nuclear fusion. This year the Summer University is hosted in the IPP research center of Garching, near Munich - Germany. The lectures are designed for physics and engineering students who passed their bachelor courses or just started their PhD. The topics covered in the lectures are:

• basics of plasma physics and nuclear fusion
• concepts and experimental results of tokamak and stellarator configurations
• ITER and the next steps towards a reactor
• basics of inertial fusion and astrophysical plasmas

Fee
The participation fee is €50. For students registered at European universities the costs of accommodation, food and social events are covered by IPP. Travel costs are borne by the participants.

The application deadline for this event has already passed, but students who have already registered for the Summer University can apply for funding via the FuseNet funding page. For further details refer to the IPP summer school website.
