DOE Workshop on Integrated Simulations for Magnetic Fusion Energy Sciences

Community Teleconference: May 18-19, 2015

Final Agenda:

- All times are given in Eastern Daylight Time (EDT).

- The third column of the schedule ('Panels') indicates panel affiliations (with primary panel as the first letter, followed by any secondary panel affiliations).

Speakers:

- Speakers during the Community Input Teleconference are any whitepaper submitters who (1) requested to do a presentation and (2) are not also serving as a member of one of the workshop panels. The full list of panel members is available via the workshop website.

Speaker Guidelines:

- Each speaker in a given panel session should be sure to attend the Panel Introduction (by the Panel Chair and Co-Chair) at the start of the overall panel session.

- Speakers should focus on (1) what are recent advances and gaps, and (2) what are opportunities (i.e., readiness to make substantial progress).

- Speakers should structure each talk to address these issues and adhere to the following time guideline: 14 minutes total (with 10 minutes maximum for presentation plus 4 minutes for questions / discussions), followed by 1 minute of transition between speakers.

- The Panel Chair and Co-Chair will lead a group discussion at the conclusion of each panel session.
