Special Sessions

The EPS2015 program will have a number of special sessions namely

joined sessions of Basics and Astrophysical Plasmas with the Low Temperature Plasmas (on Tuesday, June 23rd and Wednesday, June 24th)
parallel sessions on Magnetic Confinement (on Tuesday, June 23rd and Thursday, June 25th)
joined session between Magnetic Confinement and Basic and Astrophysical Plasmas (on Friday, June 26th).

Proceedings and Papers

Submission for the conference proceedings – 4 pages for contributed orals and posters – are open from 8th to 19^th June. For submission and formatting details and the link to the Online Conference System (OCS) used to submit the papers see the paper submission page. A confirmation will be send upon reception of a submission. The proceedings will be made available on the web in due time after the conference. Invited speakers are welcome to submit a paper – 8 pages for ordinary invited and 12 for plenary invited talks – directly to Plasma Physics and Controlled Fusion until 26^th June.
