ScopeThe International Toki Conference is a topical meeting dedicated to a specific subject related
to plasma and fusion science. The series began in 1989 with the founding of the National
Institute for Fusion Science and has been held on an annual basis ever since. This year marks
the 30th time the series has been held.
In recent years, several new experiments have been started and construction of new devices
are going forward around the world. Cooperation among experiments, theory, andsimulations has become more important. Technological development, built on fundamental
research topics, will be further utilized for applied plasma research and large-scale plasma
science for fusion reactors. The conference topics cover a wide range of research in various
plasma and fusion science.
