Dear Colleagues and friends of the Festival,
The 10th edition of the Festival de Théorie will take place in Aix en Provence,France on July 1—26, 2019. The theme for the coming year is “PhaseDynamics”. Flyer is attached.
For the coming Edition, we renew the format changes that were initiated in 2017.
The Festival will last 4 weeks:

— commencing with 2 weeks (from 1—12 July) of seminars (Tutorials, Topicals &Short Contributions) and a series of lectures broadening the seminar topics. Timefor discussion and collaboration is built within the programme.
— the following 2 weeks (from 15—26 July) are largely dedicated to FestivalProjects.
About 10 competitively-selected Fellows will work on a Research Project under thesupervision of a senior advisors. Important consideration will be given to matchingeach Fellow with an appropriate advisor and to the statement provided by thecandidate. Each will present her.his work during a Symposium Day. Each projectis encouraged to lead to a journal contribution in the following months. Those who
apply for Fellowship should realise they make a substantial commitment.

A few guidelines regarding the Festival Projects:• Research advisors are by invitation only; if interested, please do send me
a notification (a 4 week attendance should then be required, except inexceptional cases).
• Applications from prospective Fellows (PhD students and post-docs)
trained in fields outside Fusion Plasma Physics are encouraged: eg
Fluid Dynamics, Astrophysics, Statistical Physics and Applied Mathematics—
an important goal of the Festival is to stimulate interdisciplinary research.
• Prospective Fellows should apply by sending to David Zarzoso<david.zarzoso-fernandez@univ-amu.fr>[copy to Guilhem Dif-Pradalier<guilhem.dif-pradalier@cea.fr>] their CV, a description of their research
work and 1-2 sample publications, if available. They should also include thecontact info for one referee, presumably their research supervisor. Finally,
applicants should include a brief statement of what they want toaccomplish at the Festival, and how they would contribute to, and profit
from, such an interdisciplinary activity which characterizes the Festival.

Travel & Housing Support is offered to help offset the cost of round-trip travel to
Aix-en-Provence. Housing facilities and rooms for long stays are also available.
Please be aware that July is a busy period in Aix en Provence and that booking
well in anticipation is required.

Email: guilhem.dif-pradalier@cea.fr* The Festival de Théorie aims at organizing theory working groups on wellfocused subjects in magnetized plasma physics. The objective is three fold. First,
the participants present the most recent results in the field and promote newideas. New collaborations form and start common work on subjects of commoninterest. In this regard, it is expected that the participants cover a broad spectrumof expertise. Fellowship applications outside the magnetic fusion and plasma
communities are encouraged. The third objective is to provide educational training
for PhD and post-doc students
