https://publishingsupport.iopscience.iop.org/author-guidelines-for-conference-proceedings/
Submit to Prof. J. Graves: Varenna-Lausanne@epfl.ch
The poster board is 148 cm wide and 98 cm 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 and adhesive tape supplied. Electronic copies of the posters do not need to be submitted to the conference, and authors may choose their formatting.
Conference papers will be published in Plasma Physics and Controlled Fusion (PPCF). There will be no other outlet for proceedings. In order to optimise the quality and quantity of proceedings, we have negotiated with PPCF the concept of (partial) open refereeing, thus continuing the traditions of the Varenna conference.
Manuscripts will be published as cluster of papers related to the Varenna-Lausanne Theory of Fusion Plasmas 2024 Conference, supervised by Editors P. Helander and J. P. Graves. They will appear online soon after acceptance. Follow the guidelines (and LaTeX/Word templates) of PPCF and submission to PPCF is here (select Varenna 2024 special conference series when submitting)
Invited Speakers are expected to submit by the end of 2024. If the manuscripts are ready in time for the conference itself, the speakers may follow the process listed below for poster presenters.
Contributed poster presenters should send a draft of their paper to Varenna-Lausanne by Monday August 26th 2024. The guest editors of the special issue will identify a single referee for each paper. This referee will be attending the conference. Open discussions will take place between authors and referees during the conference. After the conference, before the end of 2024, the author will submit their updated paper to PPCF together with the referee report and the details of the referee. PPCF will seek an additional anonymous referee. Acceptance of the manuscript will be afforded according to the reporting of the known and anonymous referee. Please send your draft manuscripts by August 26th 2024 to: Varenna-Lausanne@epfl.ch

Please consider that the conference will take place during the high tourist season and that there are only a few medium-priced hotels in Varenna with limited accommodation capacity.
There are also several Bed and Breakfasts in and around Varenna that only accept bookings made directly by guests.
The organising secretariat is only able to offer accommodation to a very limited number of participants (see options below).
We therefore recommend booking accommodation well in advance.
