ºÚÁÏÉçapp

The 7th ºÚÁÏÉçapp International School will be held on 25-29 August 2014 at ºÚÁÏÉçapp on the first day and downtown Aix-en-Provence on the second. The focus this year will be on "Highly parallel computing in modelling magnetically confined plasmas for nuclear fusion."

This subject has an interdisciplinary character: high-performance computing is a key-tool for facing problems in different fields of magnetically confined fusion. It is one of the main subjects for achieving the expected results in the future ºÚÁÏÉçapp reactor.

The ºÚÁÏÉçapp International school aims to prepare young scientists for working in the field of nuclear fusion and in research applications associated with the ºÚÁÏÉçapp Project.

The first ºÚÁÏÉçapp school was organized during July 2007 in Aix-en-Provence, and was focused on turbulent transport in fusion plasmas. Five different editions have followed: 2008 in Fukuoka, Japan (magnetic confinement); 2009 in Aix-en-Provence (plasma-surface interaction); 2010 in Austin, Texas (Magneto-Hydro-Dynamics); 2011 in Aix-en-Provence (energetic particles); and finally 2012 in Ahmedabad, India (on radio-frequency heating).
