MHD and Energetic Particles

This school aims at preparing young researchers to tackle the current and anticipated challenges at magnetic fusion devices, and spreading the global knowledge required for a timely and competent exploitation of the ITER physics potential. The 5th edition is an overview of MHD interacting with energetic particles issues, with regard to ITER project.
