The Fourth US-PRC Magnetic Fusion Collaboration Workshop will be held on the University of Texas at Austin campus on May 5-6, 2008.

The purpose of this meeting is to stimulate ideas for collaboration in magnetic fusion between the two countries, including the following aspects: Device Operation and Experimental Results, Plasma and Fusion Technology, Theory and Simulation, Fusion Reactor and Power Plant Design, Status of New Devices, and ITER Preparation. Reports of progress on existing collaborations and proposals for new collaborations are strongly encouraged. As in previous workshops, discussions at this meeting will contribute to the planning of PRC-US magnetic fusion collaboration for 2008-2010.
