Second Announcement
Organized by National Institutes of Natural Sciences,

National Institute for Fusion ScienceYou are cordially invited to attend the Joint meeting of the 14th International Toki Conference (ITC14) onPlasma Physics and Controlled Nuclear Fusion and the 4th International Conference on Atomic and Molecular
Data and Their Applications (ICAMDATA). The Joint meeting will be held from October 5th to 8th, 2004 at theCeratopia Toki Conference Hall (Toki, Gifu, Japan) on the subject of “New Research on Atomic and Molecular
Processes and The Increasing Applications to Plasmas, Science and Technology”.
The International Toki Conference focuses on topics in plasma physics and controlled nuclear fusion, andhas been held annually since the establishment of the National Institute for Fusion Science (NIFS) in 1989. TheICAMDATA is a continuing series of international conferences since 1997 that promotes the use of atomic andmolecular (AM) data in various fields of science and technology, and provides a forum for interaction of AM
data producers and users.
