Stimulated by the growing interest in the science of burning plasmas coming out of discussions at the 1999 Fusion Summer Study at Snowmass and the recent charge [5 Oct. 2000] to FESAC by the DOE Office of Science to "...address the scientific issues of burning plasma physics," the University Fusion Association (UFA) is sponsoring a Workshop on Burning Plasma Science, 11-13 December 2000, in Austin, TX, to provide a forum for in-depth community discussion of the critical scientific issues connected with burning plasmas. Based on progress achieved at this December workshop (which focuses on scientific issues), a follow-on workshop focusing on the technology of burning plasmas will be held next year.
