8 8 TH SCHOOL OF FUSION PHYSICS & TECHNOLOGY - 8 Ο ΣΧΟΛΕΙΟ ΦΥΣΙΚΗΣ & ΤΕΧΝΟΛΟΓΙΑΣ ΣΥΝΤΗΞΗΣ University of Thessaly - Volos 6-11 April 2009 Auditoria: Mechanical &Planning Engineering - Athens Ave & Sekeri Street, Volos, Greece PURPOSE OF THE SCHOOL - ΣΚΟΠΟΣ ΤΟΥ ΣΧΟΛΕΙΟΥ The last 50 years significant research activities have been developed for the production of energy from fusion. The construction of the first international thermonuclear experimental reactor (ITER) started in France by EU, USA, China, India, Japan, Korea and Russia. The European Fusion Programme (EFP) supports and coordinates the related research in the member-states of EU, promoting the cooperation between research units and the participation of researchers. In the frame of the activities of the National Programme of Controlled Thermonuclear Fusion (NPCTFwww.hellasfusion.gr) funded by the Association Euratom-Hellenic Republic, a Fusion School is held annually. Its aim is the introduction to basic physics and technology of fusion and related fields. Special workshops are also organized where young researchers present their recent research. The participants (senior undergraduate, graduate, young researchers) will be updated on the EFP and the activities of the research groups of NPCTF. Interested students may explore the possibility of executing graduating and master projects or doctoral theses. Τα τελευταία 50 χρόνια έχουν αναπτυχθεί σημαντικές ερευνητικές δραστηριότητες για την παραγωγή ενέργειας από σύντηξη. Η κατασκευή του πρώτου διεθνούς θερμοπυρηνικού πειραματικού αντιδραστήρα (ITER) άρχισε στη Γαλλία με συμμετοχή EE, ΗΠΑ, Ιαπωνίας, Ινδίας, Κίνας, Κορέας και Ρωσίας. Το Ευρωπαϊκό Πρόγραμμα Σύντηξης (ΕΠΣ) υποστηρίζει και συντονίζει τη σχετική έρευνα στα κράτη-μέλη της ΕΕ, και ενισχύει τη συνεργασία μεταξύ των ερευνητικών μονάδων και τη συμμετοχή ερευνητών. Στο πλαίσιο των δραστηριοτήτων του Εθνικού Προγράμματος Ελεγχομένης Θερμοπυρηνικής Σύντηξης (ΕΠΕΘΣ- που χρηματοδοτείται από την Ένωση Euratom - Ελληνική Δημοκρατία, διοργανώνεται ετησίως το Σχολείο Σύντηξης. Σκοπός είναι η εισαγωγή σε βασικά προβλήματα φυσικής και τεχνολογίας της σύντηξης και συναφών πεδίων. Επίσης γίνονται ειδικές συνεδρίες όπου οι νέοι ερευνητές παρουσιάζουν την πρόσφατη έρευνά τους. Οι συμμετέχοντες (τελειόφοιτοι, μεταπτυχιακοί, νέοι ερευνητές) θα ενημερωθούν για το ΕΠΣ και τις δραστηριότητες των ερευνητικών ομάδων του ΕΠΕΘΣ. Οι ενδιαφερόμενοι φοιτητές μπορούν να διερευνήσουν την δυνατότητα εκπόνησης διπλωματικών, μεταπτυχιακών ή διδακτορικών διατριβών.
