SCOPE
The International Toki Conference (ITC) has been successively held reaching the 20th
event this year. On this occasion, the 20th ITC will focus on the prospects for the next
twenty years of plasma and fusion science, by reflecting on the progress achieved within
the past years. The frontiers of simulation science in plasma and fusion research will bethe main topic. At the same time, the academic systemization of plasma and fusion
science should manifest itself in the 20th ITC, through the synergism of the diversity ofresearch area, and progress of the leading edge.
