DIII-D RESEARCH OPPORTUNITIES FORUM FOR THE 2017-18 EXPERIMENTAL CAMPAIGNS

The following agenda should be used for general planning purposes only. Since this is partly a proposal-driven workshop, the time and duration of the various sessions will likely be adjusted as required by the area leaders.

Plenary sessions are held in 15-018 OR 15-019. Remote access information can be found HERE.

TEMPLATES from Richard Buttery, to guide presenters in preparation of talks, are HERE

GA room 15-019
