ABSTRACTS

- The abstracts should be sent by June 14th, 2024

One page pdf format abstract, file name as "NAME_Varenna22_abstr.pdf" following word or latex templates used for IOP proceedings papers (remove everything except title, authors, affiliations, abstract body and references). Use IOP proceedings link here for the template:

Submit to Jonathan Graves here:

POSTERS

The poster board (made of cork) is 150cm wide and 100cm 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 supplied. Electronic copies of the posters do not need to be submitted to the conference, and authors may choose their formatting.

SPECIAL ISSUE PROCEEDINGS PAPERS

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 special issue when submitting: Special issue on the 2024 joint Varenna-Lausanne International Workshop on the Theory of Fusion Plasmas)

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 26^th 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 26^th 2024 to:
