List of Topics

Abstracts

The abstracts should be sent by June 17th, 2022

Posters

The poster board (made of cork) is 150cm wide and 100cm high. Printing on to A0-landscape would be ideal. A0-portrait will work, but there will be about 20cm of poster at the bottom that can’t be attached (so be warned that if printing to A0-portrait the poster may tend to curl at the bottom after rolling in a carrying tube). Attaching pins supplied. Electronic copies of the posters do not need to be submitted to the conference, and authors may choose their formatting.

Special Issue Proceedings Paper

Papers will be published in two special issue IOP refereed journals:
– Invited oral and selected poster contributor papers will be published in a special issue in Plasma Phys. Control. Fusion (PPCF)
– Poster contributor papers will usually be published in the Journal of Physics Conference Series (JPCS)

Papers published in PPCF will follow the usual refereeing process of that journal, published as a cluster of papers related to the Varenna-Lausanne Theory of Fusion Plasmas 2022 Conference, supervised by Editors P. Helander and J. P. Graves. Follow the guidelines (and LaTeX/Word templates) of PPCF and submission to PPCF is here (select Varenna 2022 special conference series when submitting). For invited speakers the submission deadline to PPCF is the end of September 2022. For poster contributors YOU NEED to send a justification of your intention to submit to PPCF instead of JPCS, and send a draft pdf of the manuscript, by Monday August 29th, 2022; a decision on the submission destination will be made in a few days, giving time to submit to JPCS if necessary. Poster contributors should send the justification and pdf manuscript on (or before) 29th August to: Varenna-Lausanne_at_epfl.ch

Papers published in JPCS will be refereed mainly by participants of the conference, supervised by Editors P. Helander and J. P. Graves. The JPCS special issue page will have a header stating explicitly that the papers have been refereed. Naturally, the refereeing process will be lighter (typically one referee) than the PPCF publication. Open discussions between author and referee can take place during the workshop, and formal referee reports will be provided through the Morressier platform. Follow the IOP guidelines and use the LateX/Word templates here. Papers generated using the IOP templates just mentioned should aim to be not longer than 10 pages (but longer papers might be accepted if this is deemed necessary). Note that YOU NEED TO SUBMIT THE PDF PAPER BY Monday September 5th, 2022, so that we can organize the refereeing process in due time.
