Festival 2003 : announcement

Festival de theorie 2005
	Turbulence overshoot and resonant structures in fusion and astrophysical plasmas 4 - 22 July 2005 Aix-en-Provence, France

First Announcement

Scope of the meeting

The Festival de Théorie is an initiative that aims at organising theory working groups on well-focused subjects in magnetised plasma physics. The international meetings will gather 25 to 35 experts during three to four weeks.
The objective is three fold. First, the participants will present the most recent results in the field and promote new ideas. Secondly sub-groups will be formed and start new common work on the subject. In this regard, it is expected that the participants will cover a broad spectrum of expertise. The third objective is to provide educational training for PhD and post-doc students.
The third meeting of the "Festival de Théorie" will be organised from July 4th to July 22th 2005 in Aix en Provence. The subject will be "Turbulence overshoot and resonant structures in fusion and astrophysical plasmas". Participants will come from various fields of research, namely fusion, space and astrophysics. To date 4 topics are considered,

turbulence overshoot, or spreading, in star convection zones and fusion plasmas,
interaction of overshoot with shear layers and transport layers,
particle accelaration and resonant transport,
relaxation and reconnection.

We look forward to your strong contribution to the scientific organisation. In the registration form pelase check those topics you will contribute to. New proposals are welcomed.

Scientific organisation

Each half-day of the meeting will start with a presentation given by each participant. Morning presentations will be dedicated to tutorial lectures. Blackboard presentations and discussions will be promoted. Most of the time will be shared between individual work and discussions in working groups.
Written contributions should be produced. Part of the work during the Festival should be dedicated to work on the papers. As for the 2003 Festival, we wish to publish a book with the outstanding contributions.
You are invited to participate after selection by the Scientific Committee. This invitation covers the 3 weeks of the venue. We strongly encourage a participation of 2 weeks minimum. The number of participants is limited to about 35 senior scientists. We wish to keep the Festival de Théorie open to less experienced theoreticians, Post-docs and PhD students.
Some financial support was offered to several participants in 2001 and 2003. Such a support should also be available for the present meeting. Should you ask for such a support, please check this point in the registration form given below.
