2010: IPP Summer University on
Plasma Physics and Fusion Research
20 - 24 September 2010 in Garching
The course will cover the main aspects of plasma physics with emphasis on nuclear fusion. The following lectures will be offered:
One goal of the Summer University is to promote an exchange of views among the coming generation of European scientists. An opportunity for discussions with lecturers and other students will be provided between the sessions, in the evening and during an excursion.
The course is being held for European physics students who have passed their undergraduate/bachelor courses and have not yet started a doctoral (PhD) thesis. The lectures will be presented in English, lecture notes will be provided to all students. The cost of accommodation will be covered, and subsidies for food will be granted. Limited funds are available for travel expenses. The course is limited to 60 participants.
Deadline for application: May 31, 2010
Required documents include: high school leaving certificate, physics diploma/bachelor degree and a short curriculum vitae.
Applicants will be notified as of end of July 2010 at the latest.
