The aim of the conference is to provide a discussion forum covering all areas of fusion-oriented theoretical activities.

Its main topics are:

1. Fusion devices: tokamaks, stellarators, reversed-field pinches, laser-induced ignition and new concepts
2. Macro-instabilities, operational limits and disruptions
3. Plasma confinement, neoclassical and turbulent plasma transport
4. Optimization of magnetic confinement devices and 3D magnetic field effects
5. Burning plasmas and fast particles
6. Heating, current drive, and wave particle interactions
7. Edge and scrape-off layer/divertor physics
8. Experimental validation of theoretical models and diagnostics development
9. Computational plasma physics
10. Basic plasma theory
