Presentation of the workshop
This conference is devoted to modeling and scientific computing for the transport of charged particles in hot plasmas. These plasmas are motivated by inertially or magnetically confined fusion plasmas. The goal of this meeting is to review recent advances in this field. A particular attention will be drawn to the use of kinetic equations to describe these phenomena.
The tools developed in this context are important to prepare and analyze experiments related to fusion. In the Bordeaux area, these tools are required to prepare experiments on high power, high energy PETAL laser that will be operational in two years at CEA/CESTA.
This workshop will allow to present recent results on various topics related to the transport of particles in hot plasmas, at the interface between applied mathematics and plasma physics. It will be an occasion to gather scientists from these communities.

Organization of the workshop
This workshop is organized by Denise Aregba and Stéphane Brull from IMB, and by Bruno Dubroca and Emmanuel d'Humières from CELIA.

Arrival:

How to come to the workshop
IMB is located on the Université de Bordeaux 1 campus in the city of Talence.
From the Bordeaux train station (Saint-Jean Station), take the C Tramway Line to the Quinconces Station and then the B Line (Pessac Centre direction) until you reach the Forum Station.
From the Bordeaux Mérignac airport, a shuttle leaves every 45 minutes during the day (prices and schedule are available here). Take the shuttle until you reach the Office du Tourisme Station, then take the B Line (Pessac Centre direction) until you reach the Forum Station. You can also take a taxi (around 40 euros for a one-way trip).

By car:
From the North of Bordeaux (Paris, Nantes, A10...), take the East Rocade in the direction of Toulouse, then take Exit 16 (Talence, Domaine Universitaire). Continue on the Cours de la Libération until you reach number 351 (on your left after the Casino supermarket, next to the Peixotto Parc).
From the South-East of Bordeaux (Toulouse), take the Rocade in the Bayonne direction, then take Exit 16 (Talence, Domaine Universitaire). Continue on the Cours de la Libération until you reach number 351 (on your left after the Casino supermarket, next to the Peixotto Parc).
From the South of Bordeaux (Bayonne), take the Rocade in the Toulouse direction, then take Exit 16 (Talence, Domaine Universitaire). Turn left to go over the Rocade. Continue on the Cours de la Libération until you reach number 351 (on your left after the Casino supermarket, next to the Peixotto Parc).
