The goal of controlled thermonuclear fusion research is to develop a safe, environmentally benign, and essentially inexhaustible source of energy for the future.

Papers are solicited on the following topics for the International Sherwood Fusion Theory Conference:

• Plasma Properties, Equilibrium, Stability, and Transport
• Physics of Plasma Edge and Divertor Region
• Plasma Production and Heating
• Computer Simulation of Plasmas

Committee's mission statement: to provide leadership in the planning and execution of the Annual Conference for the communication of recent results in the physics of controlled fusion.

This conference is conducted in accordance with the International Council of Scientific Unions guidelines on free circulation of scientists.
