Twenty-first workshop in the series
ISTW 2022 was virtually held by Tsinghua University, Beijing, China, on 31 October – 4 November 2022. The local host representative was Professor GAO Zhe.
Previous ISTWs were held in Oak Ridge (1994), Princeton (1995), Culham (1996), St. Petersburg (1997), Tokyo (1998), Seattle (1999), São José dos Campos (2001), Princeton (2002), Culham (2003), Kyoto (2004), St. Petersburg (2005), Chengdu (2006), Fukuoka (2007), Frascati (2008), Madison (2009), Toki (2011), York (2013), Princeton (2015), Seoul (2017) and Frascati (2019).
The objectives of the workshop are to contribute to advancing the understanding of spherical tori (ST) and, when appropriate, compact toroid (CT) configurations and to enhance their potential for fusion power applications, and to provide a forum for discussion and collaboration enhancement. The scope covers the full range of research activities on ST, extended to their interface with other CT fusion concepts: spheromaks and field-reversed configurations.
