DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Salvatore Mirabella (Università di Catania)\, G A P
 ablo Cirrone (Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare)\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
 \n\n\n\n\n\nThe scientific meeting is dedicated to analyzing the state of 
 the art of nuclear fusion research in Italy and Europe\, with particular e
 mphasis on inertial confinement fusion and the main scientific challenges 
 associated with it. Among these\, a central role is played by the variatio
 n of nuclear cross sections within plasmas under extreme conditions\, the 
 mechanisms of energy and particle transport\, and the development of innov
 ative solutions for materials and technologies aimed at increasing fusion 
 yield. Research in this field is inherently multidisciplinary and encompas
 ses nuclear physics and materials science\, from the theory of fundamental
  interactions to power electronics\, from plasma physics to advanced senso
 r technologies. Both at the national and European levels\, the research la
 ndscape in this area is rapidly expanding\, with growing interest from sev
 eral multinational industrial stakeholders.\nDuring the day\, research per
 spectives from several national research institutions (ENEA\, INFN\, and C
 NR) will be presented on topics such as laser–plasma and plasma–materi
 al interactions\, micro- and nanoporous materials for advanced targets\, a
 nd strategic infrastructures such as the high-power I-LUCE laser\, support
 ing research and innovation in inertial fusion and the exploration of new 
 energy-coupling schemes. The interests of major industrial players in the 
 region\, including STMicroelectronics and Infobiotech\, will also be prese
 nted\, with the aim of discussing opportunities for technology transfer\, 
 the development of enabling materials and technologies\, and collaboration
  with the research community. The day will also address the opportunities 
 offered by new national and European funding programs and their impact on 
 the research ecosystem.\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis one-day meeting is joint
 ly organized with the three PhD courses located at the Physics Department:
  the PhD courses in Physics\, Materials Science and Nanotechnologies and 
 Complex Systems for Physical\, socio-economic and Life Sciences\n\n\n\n\n
