The 20th European Fusion Physics Workshop (EFPW20) will take place from 3 to 5 December 2012 at the Hotel Vila Galé in Ericeira, Portugal (close to Lisbon), and is hosted by the Association EURATOM - Instituto Superior Técnico (IST). The title of this year’s workshop is "Power Exhaust in Fusion Devices: from Conventional to Innovative Solutions".

The STAC has agreed on the following session topics and proposed Session Chairs:

  1. Power exhaust issues for ITER and DEMO: Emmanuelle Tsitrone (CEA)
  2. Advances in technologies for power exhaust solutions: Michael Rieth (KIT)
  3. Innovative exhaust magnetic configurations (snow flake, super-x, etc ...): William Morris (CCFE)
  4. Liquid metal plasma facing components: Giuseppe Mazzitelli (ENEA)
  5. Integrated modelling of plasma exhaust: Marco Wischmeier (IPP)

Participants should plan to arrive during the afternoon/evening of Sunday, 2 December. The workshop is scheduled to finish around lunchtime on 5 December. Most participants should therefore be able to depart that day.
