The first IAEA DEMO Programme Workshop (DPW-2012) will be held at the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA), Los Angeles, California, United States of America from 15 - 18 October 2012.
The specific objective of DPW-2012 is to discuss a subset of key DEMO scientific and technical issues with the aim of defining the facilities and programme activities that can lead to their resolution. The workshop output will be information that could be used by any party as input to the planning of possible roadmaps to DEMO.
DPW-2012 will be organized around three topics, where discussion and action are urgently needed. The topics include:
Participants should be actively involved in the topics of the meeting. In order to participate in the meeting, all persons not officially invited by the IAEA to give a presentation at the meeting must send a completed Participation Form (Form A) to their appropriate governmental authority for subsequent transmission to the IAEA. Such a participant will be accepted only if the Participation Form is transmitted to the IAEA through one of the official channels by 10 August 2012.
A limited number of posters addressing the workshop topics may be included. Should any participant wish to present a poster, they are requested to submit a one page abstract to physics@iaea.org no later than 10 August 2012. In addition, they must further submit a duly completed Form A to their appropriate governmental authority for transmission to the IAEA. This form must be received by the IAEA no later than 10 August 2012.
