The 7th ITER International School will be held in Aix en Provence, France, during August 25-29, 2014. The theme of this year's Summer School will be "Highly parallel computing in modeling magnetically confined plasmas for nuclear fusion." These Schools are primarily designed for graduate students, postdocs, and young researchers. If you are interested in attending, please go to the School's web site http://iterschool.univ-amu.fr/ and register. The registration deadline is being extended to June 15 (the website may still say June 1).

The US Burning Plasma Organization will once again make available several scholarships for US participants to this year's ITER Summer School. The scholarships will cover round-trip airfare, registration fee, and six nights of student housing, which three items constitute the bulk of the expenses. Participants' home institutions are encouraged to supplement the scholarships to cover other travel-related expenses.

Please send applications to Dr. François Waelbroeck flw@mail.utexas.edu, chair of the selection committee. In each application, please include (1) a vita, (2) a list of publications, (3) a statement about the reasons why your participation at this School would be beneficial, and (4) a letter of reference from a senior scientist who is knowledgeable about you. Due to the rapidly approaching registration deadline, we ask that your applications be received no later than May 30.
