8th PAMIR International Conference on Fundamental and
Applied MHD
Borgo – Corsica - France
September 5 - 9 , 2011
Message from the chairmen
This new pamir conference corresponds
to the
Twentieth anniversary of this manifestation which was
organized for the first time in September 1991 at the
Cadarache Castel in close collaboration between the
CNRS and the CEA. This was a symbolic event for the
Latvian scientists who attended an International
Conference in France for most of them for the first time
after the independence of their country.
To celebrate this anniversary it was decided to
place this
8 th conference under the common hospice of the CNRS
and CEA in close collaboration with our colleagues
from Latvia.
This manifestation is also the opportunity to
manifest
the vitality of the magneto sciences in Europe especially
through the activities of an European group of research,
GAMAS, open structure involving several European
countries benefiting also of the participation of non
European countries.
The enlarged topics of the Conference takes into
account
the present interest of the MHD community within the
domain of the liquid metal technologies which
corresponds to an important development in the frame
of Energy, for example but not exclusively, by
considering the important programs related to the new
generation of Sodium Fast Neutron Reactors and the
ITER experimental fusion Reactor.
The organizers have the aim to facilitate the
access at the
Conference to the young scientists and scientists from
unfavoured countries, and to promote the close
collaboration between engineers, private companies and
researchers which is a very important aspect in the
development of magneto sciences.
