The Simons Collaboration on Hidden Symmetries and Fusion Energy organizes a workshop on Stellarator optimization in Greifswald 27 June - 8 July. The objective of the workshop is to provide an opportunity for the exchange of ideas and collaborative work in a relaxed atmosphere. The workshop is open to members of the Collaboration and to scientists from the wider community who work in the field of Stellarator optimization.
(Registration ended on 15 May 2022). Simons Greifswald Workshop on the Max Planck website
