Kyushu University Itoh Project Prize 2020&2021 for PhD students
Winners of Kyushu University Itoh Project Prize
We welcome applications for the 2020&2021 Itoh Prize in association with the 47th EPS Conference of Plasma Physics. The prize aims to recognize doctoral students who have performed excellent research on plasma turbulence, transport, confinement, or any related topic. The winner will be offered the opportunity to visit Kyushu University, Japan, for one week, including paid flights and living expenses, although the situation may change depending on COVID-19. The competition is judged by a panel of experts chaired by Professor Akihide Fujisawa of Kyushu University.
