Synopsis:

This course provides an opportunity to students interested in magnetic confinement fusion to enhance their knowledge of fusion physics and technology by special topics that are not covered by the mainstream courses. At the same time, it is a platform where students can meet young research scientists from the COMPASS tokamak. In the end of the course students are expected to present results of their own research task.
