Description

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.

Links to information in support of the Strategic Planning Workshops are given below.  To access information identified as posted on the internal web site you will need a username/password associated with your DIII-D Cyber Access account.  If you have questions please contact Max Fenstermacher (fenstermacher@fusion.gat.com)

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