Significant progress has been achieved both domestically and internationally in the studies on turbulence and transport, energetic particle physics and MHD instabilities in magnetically confined fusion plasmas since the establishment of the ITER-China Program. In order to further enhance collaboration among domestic and international scientists, and thereby to promote further developments in these fields, the Institute for Fusion Theory and Simulation, Zhejiang University (IFTS-ZJU) will hold the 7th International West Lake Symposium on magnetic fusion research at Zhejiang University in May 6-10, 2013. Foreign and domestic scientists are welcome to participate and contribute.
