Decennial IAEA Technical Meeting on Atomic, Molecular and Plasma–Material Interaction Data for Fusion Science and Technology

The Decennial IAEA Technical Meeting on Atomic, Molecular and Plasma-Material Interaction Data for Fusion Science and Technology 2024 (AMPMI 2024) will be held at University of Helsinki, Finland. Meeting focuses to current data activities on atomic and molecular (AM) processes relevant for fusion plasmas as well as on plasma-surface and plasma-material interactions (PMI) with fusion reactor components. The meeting fosters global collaboration for fusion R&D in the public and private sectors as well as identifies priorities for fusion data activities and recommends future focus points.

The previously organized Decennial Technical Meetings:

• 1976, Culham Laboratory (UK): formulated, for the first time, a comprehensive scope for AM data needs for fusion
• 1980, Fontenay-aux-Roses (France): reviewed the status of data needs in relation to experimental programmes of large tokamaks
• 1992, Cadarache (France): reviewed and identified new data needs for large operating fusion machines
• 2002, Jülich Research Centre (Germany): reconsidered data needs in the light of further increases in the size and power of experimental fusion devices and the early use of deuterium-tritium fuel in these machines
• 2014, Korea Institute of Fusion Energy (form. National Fusion Research Institute; Korea): meeting goal was to advance data-oriented research on AM and PMI processes and properties important for fusion as well as to promote collaboration among fusion experimentalists and those in the field of the calculation or measurement of relevant fundamental data.

The 2024 Decennial meeting will continue to act as a forum between the fusion data users and the data providers with an aim to advance the fruitful communication between these two communities for finding gaps and needs in fusion data.
