Task Forces and Working Groups for the Research Opportunities Forum

Eight high priority research areas have been identified for the DIII-D experimental program in 2008. These topics are quite broad, and draw from expertise spread across the entire experimental program. Proposals in these areas are particularly encouraged.

The complete list of all task forces and working groups, including their leadership, is shown below, and is available in the selection pull-down on the web submission form. The high priority areas, described above, are shown in yellow boxes. Additional, more focused (highlighted in blue), working groups have been defined as well. Your experimental proposals in any of these areas will be welcome.
