Mitaka Campus, October 24th
– 28th
The first meeting of the International Research Collaboration Center for Astro-fusion plasma Physics (IRCC-AFP) will be held at the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan (NAOJ) on the Mitaka campus (Tokyo) on October 24th-28th. The meeting will define the future of the IRCC-AFP with a focus on reconnection and shock waves in various aspects of both astrophysical and fusion plasmas with the intent to build new international research partnerships. The first two days, from Oct. 24th to 25th, will be dedicated to presentations, followed by a workshop from Oct. 26th to 28th.

Presentation Instructions
We encourage all presenters
to participate in person, but virtual options will be available if unable to
travel. Speakers should aim for a general presentation of her/his work (15+5
minutes). The last slide of the presentation should cover the main
challenges/topical issues to be addressed in the future to motivate the
discussions for the workshop.
Workshop Instructions
To facilitate discussions
and encourage collaborative projects, we ask each participant of the three-day
workshop to prepare one slide that will be first briefly discussed during the
workshop introduction on Wednesday morning. The slide should contain a
summary/abstract of a problem that would be discussed in subgroups during the
main workshop sessions on Thursday and Friday. People interested in joining a
discussion should sign up on the slide and contact the organizer. Please,
specify if you plan to attend the workshop in person or virtually. On Thursday
morning, the workshop will focus on fusion methods and potential applications
to astrophysical environments.
We ask the participants to
upload the workshop
slide one week before the
workshop on the following link:

Hotels
Those who do not stay in
the Cosmos lodge must book a hotel by themselves. There is no hotel near NAOJ,
and it is recommended to stay near either Musashisakai
station (JR Chuo line) or Chofu station (Keio line)
and take a bus to NAOJ. Chofu is larger and
there are more dining options. Also, there is a direct bus service to
Narita and Haneda airports.
1. Hotel Mets Musashisakai (*recommended*)
Just
in front of the Musashisakai station. The room is
small but clean and modern, reasonably priced, and with nice breakfast
options.
2. Chofu Creston Hotel
Just in front of the Chofu station. Relatively
upscale and expensive.
3. Urban Hotel Twins Chofu
Near Chofu. Not very fancy but reasonably priced.
4. HOTEL LiVEMAX Chofu-Ekimae
Near Chofu. Probably the cheapest option in Chofu.
5. Kichijoji Tokyu REI Hotel
Near Kichijoji station, which is a bit far away but
there is a direct bus
service to NAOJ. Small but modern and reasonably priced.
