DIII-D RESEARCH OPPORTUNITIES FORUM FOR THE 2015-16 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.

All plenary sessions are held in 15-019. Remote access information can be found HERE.
