A joint workshop between National Institute for Fusion Science (NIFS) and the University of Wisconsin-Madison (UWM) will be hosted by NIFS in the first week of August 2025.

Motivated by challenges in fusion science, the workshop will explore diverse approaches to understanding and controlling macroscopic systems involving microscopic degrees of freedom. 

We welcome interdisciplinary contributions beyond fusion—such as from astrophysics and materials science—and look forward to active discussions and networking opportunities. We are planning the following sessions and events:

• Oral presentation sessions
• NIFS Tour (LHD, CHD, ...)
• Networking & Research showcase (poster presentation)

("Micro-collective phenomena" is the main research theme of the post-LHD project of NIFS listed in the Roadmap 2023.)
