The Graduate University for Advanced Studies (Sokendai) will give a series of lectures and training course for students and young scientists from predominantly Asian countries in cooperation with five departments of the School of Physical Sciences ( Functional Molecular Science, Structural Molecular Science, Astronomical Science, Space and Astronautical Science, and Fusion Science).

Asian Winter School of the Department of Fusion Science will be held jointly with "Toki Lectures on Simulation Science 2014" from Dec. 2, 2014 through Dec. 5, 2014 at the National Institute for Fusion Science (NIFS). Subtheme of the Department of Fusion Science in this year is " Multiple Approaches in Plasma Physics and Fusion Science ". This course will contain lectures about basic plasma physics, plasma experiments aimed for thermo-nuclear fusion reactor, and simulations for fusion plasmas and complex phenomena of plasmas. Tours of the Large Helical Device (LHD) and the virtual reality system "CompleXcope" are also planned. In addition, convivial party and session of poster presentation will be held for mutual communication among participants and NIFS research staffs.

We expect many participants who are interested in fusion / plasma research.
