Schedule of JIFT Activities

The topics and themes of the exchange activities that have been proposed for JFY 2010 (April 1, 2010–March 31, 2011) are consistent with the traditional emphasis of JIFT on fundamental theoretical plasma physics issues. At the same time the proposed activities have direct relevance to the fusion science programmatic interests of both countries. The schedule of proposed activities for the coming year (2010-2011) is listed below.
