Applications are now closed, and all applicants should have been informed of their application status.
Registration to the school will open soon.

Overview & Objectives

This school, the 6th session in a series organized at l'Ecole de Physique des Houches since 2011, is intended as a 11 day long doctoral training program on plasma physics. It will cover the basics of the theory and simulation of plasmas. Space, astrophysical as well as laboratory plasmas will be considered with a special emphasis on the timely topic of plasmas under extreme conditions as found e.g. in the interior of planets, in the most violent astrophysical environments, or created using extreme-light lasers.

The school is intended for PhD students, highly motivated Master students and young postdocs.

Link to previous editions (the 2021 edition was cancelled due to the Covid-19 pandemic):

• 2019 - The multiple approaches to plasma physics, from laboratory to astrophysics
• 2017 - From laboratories to astrophysics: the expanding universe of plasma physics
• 2015 - Turbulence, Magnetic fields and self-organization
• 2013 - The future of plasma astrophysics
• 2011 - Dynamics and turbulent transport in plasmas and conducting fluids

Location

The Ecole de Physique des Houches was founded in 1951 a few kilometers from the village of Les Houches, in the French Alps. Since then, it has attracted world-renowned scientists and students, bringing them together in a particularly welcoming environment for the study of advanced physics.
