International Board of Advisors met on its annual meeting at IPP

 

The International Board of Advisors, consisting of nine leading experts in the field of controlled thermonuclear fusion, traditionally meets once a year in Prague. This committee was established in 1999 with the aim of shaping the programme and assessing the results of the scientific work of the EURATOM / IPP.CR Association. Current focus of the board covers the field of controlled thermonuclear fusion, namely in the Fusion Plasma Division.  The agenda of the meeting focussed on the current state of the COMPASS-U construction and development of diagnostics and other key systems for the new tokamak, as well as on experimental and modelling activities on other European fusion devices, and developments toward ITER and DEMO.
