Support for the 2019 IEEE Symposium on Fusion Engineering
This award provided financial support to help cover program-related expenses for the 2019 IEEE Symposium on Fusion Engineering (SOFE-2019), which was held 2-6 June 2019 near Jacksonville, FL. The SOFE is a biennial conference that enables fusion engineers from around the world to report on their work and stay current with the latest developments in fusion R&D, both physics and engineering. The symposium was sponsored by the Nuclear and Plasma Sciences Society (NPSS) of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), an international professional society whose members today span a wide range of disciplines. The IEEE Fusion Technology Standing Committee (FTC), most of whose members are involved in DOE Fusion Energy Sciences (FES) sponsored work, were responsible for organizing the SOFE. The SOFE has been the leading conference of choice for U.S. fusion engineers since its founding in 1965. In recent years, attendance has been growing as the conference has attracted greater participation of fusion researchers from other countries, especially from Asia but also from Europe and from the international ITER project, both central team and domestic agencies. This trend benefits U.S. participants by providing a forum to learn about the world’s most advanced fusion engineering activities and to strengthen collaborative ties with colleagues.
