Information for participants

Who can attend IIS2024

Most attendees are expected to be graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, and early career faculty and research staff working in fields relevant to nuclear fusion. Although the agenda will focus on topics related to magnetic fusion diagnostics and data science, attendees are not required to be working in this field. Anyone from all over the world can apply to IIS2024.

Note that IIS2024 will be held exclusively in person. No remote participation will be allowed.
Poster sessions will be scheduled for attendees to publicize their own research. Active participation in the poster sessions is encouraged.

Lodging and lunch will be provided for every attendee during the school, if needed. A tour of National Institute for Fusion Science is scheduled during the school.

Financial support from IAEA

IAEA

The IAEA has kindly provided a grant which allow us to provide financial assistance to a small number of students. This assistance will only be available to students who are citizens* of the countries included by the IAEA Department of Technical Cooperation with preference given to participants who are expected to make an important contribution to the school. Such assistance will be normally limited to one participant per country.

*We have been advised that only nationality is counted here, not the student’s affiliation.

Those who request this IAEA financial support should send the following information to IAEAsupport-iis2024@nifs.ac.jp by email with a supervisor’s letter of recommendation (arbitrary form in pdf file) attached.
– Name
– Affiliation
– Nationality
– Amount requested ( in Euros )
– Reason for the necessity of support

The application deadline is September 1st, 2024 September 10th 2024. Participants who receive the support will be decided based on the request email, CV and the recommendation letter.
Please keep in mind that a small number of applicants will be supported with a partial amount of their request because the total amount of funding is limited.
