However\, our common interest in the discovery and understanding of fundam ental processes in complex plasma systems offers great opportunities for c ross-fertilisation and bi-directional exchange of ideas\, as well as the e xploration of common themes and concepts.\nThe central goal of this Scient ific Program is to break the community barriers and to open a pathway towa rds more detailed and larger-scale\, synergistic follow-on research projec ts and collaborations.\n\nThemes and preliminary program schedule\nWe will have three one-week workshops focusing on three scientific themes that cu t across the discipline boundaries in terms of their relevance:\nWeek 1 (1 1-15 May): Transition from collisional to collisionless regimes\;Week 2 (1 8-22 May): Energy conversion through magnetic reconnection\; andWeek 3 (25 -29 May): Turbulence and wave-particle interactions.The three Workshops wi ll be back-to-back. Participants are welcome to join the program for one s ingle week\, but we encourage attendance to more than one week.\nEach week we will have a fixed format\, including plenary talks on the four involve d disciplines (Monday)\, individual short\, discussion-based contributions (Tuesday)\, interactive and inter-disciplinary collaboration (Wednesday a nd Thursday)\, and consolidation of the discussions and planning for follo w-up collaborations and publications (Friday). Wednesday afternoon will b e dedicated to free time and/or social activities (TBD).\n\nInvited speake rs\nThere will be 12 plenary talk\, one for each topic/week and per each c ommunity. The following list will be updated in the upcoming weeks.\nWeek 1 (collisions)\n\nSpace: Peter Yoon (University Maryland\, USA)\n\nWeek 2 (reconnection)\n\nSpace: Yuri Khotyaintsev (IRF Uppsala\, Sweden)\nFusion: Barbara Momo (ISTP/CNR\, Padova\, Italy)\nLaboratory: Hiroshi Tanabe (Tok yo University\, Japan)\nLaboratory: Hantao Ji (PPPL\, USA)\nAstro: Lorenzo Sironi (Columbia University\, USA)\n\nWeek 3 (turbulence and wave-partic le interactions)\n\nSpace: Julia Stawarz (Northumbria University\, UK)\nFu sion: Maurizio Giacomin (Padova University\, Italy)\nAstro: Jennifer Shobe r (Bonn University\, Germany)\n\n\nAccommodation\nFor suggestions on accom modation possibilities see the Nordita webpage on accommodation here.\nNor dita may provide a limited number of rooms at the Stockholm apartment hote l Biz Apartment free of charge for participants that need support (e.g. y ounger researchers\, see below)\, which will be allocated after applicatio n evaluation. Accommodation for families is possible upon request and dep ends on availability. No family rooms have been booked in advance.\n\nTrav el and accommodation support\nThere will be a (very) limited number of par tial or full travel grants available\, mostly intended for PhD students an d young Postdoc fellows. If you are interested in such a support\, please contact the organizers\, and provide a rough estimate of your expenses (tr avel and/or accommodation).\n\nApplication/Registration\nIf you want to ap ply for participation in the program\, please fill in the registration/ap plication form. \nDue to space restrictions\, the total number of partici pants is strictly limited. You will be informed by the organizers shortly after the application deadline whether your application has been approved.  \nRegistration deadline to be considered for on-site participation will be April 5\, 2026. Registrants will receive a participation confirmation f rom the organizers after this date.\nThere is no registration fee for the accepted participants.\n\nOrganizing Committee\nLuca Sorriso-Valvo (CNR/IS TP\, Bari\, Italy\, and KTH\, Stockholm\, Sweden)\nSanja Danilovic (Stockh olm University\, Sweden)\nFatima Ebrahimi (Princeton Plasma Physics Labora tory\, USA)\nAurora Simionescu (Netherlands Institute for Space Research\, Leiden\, Netherlands)\nDaniel Verscharen (MSSL\, University College\, Lon don\, UK)\nMatteo Zuin (CNR/ISTP and Consorzio RFX\, Padova\, Italy)\n \n Sponsored by:\n\n\nhttps://indico.fysik.su.se/event/9142/ IMAGE;VALUE=URI:https://indico.fysik.su.se/event/9142/logo-3590190655.png LOCATION:Albano Building 3 URL:https://indico.fysik.su.se/event/9142/ END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
