PFMC-20 - International Conference to be held in Ljubljana in May 2025
Dr Sabina Markelj from our department is leading the organization of 20th International Conference on Plasma Facing Materials and Components for Fusion Application. The conference will bring together experts from around the world to discuss the performance and durability of plasma-facing materials and components, , which will lead to the success of fusion devices and future fusion power plants. Understanding and improving these materials is essential for advancing fusion energy technology.
Throughout the conference, the key topics such as resistance to heat and particle loads, material properties—particularly thermo-mechanical properties—and the effects of fusion neutron irradiation on material durability will be explored. These discussions will contribute to further tailoring of these materials from the atomic to the component level. We sincerely hope that the conference will provide an opportunity to share the latest developments and open questions in the material research for fusion applications, which are of vital importance for the realization of nuclear fusion energy.
