Symposium Scope
The International Symposium on Fusion Nuclear Technology (ISFNT) is recognized as one of the premier international gatherings to foster interactions among scientists and engineers to exchange information on all scientific, engineering, and other technical aspects of fusion nuclear science and technology. It also represents great opportunities for reporting on recent technical progress, discussing many multidisciplinary issues and fostering international collaboration for the promotion of fusion energy development. The symposium addresses near-term fusion devices, ITER and long-term reactor technologies. We encourage contributions related to science, engineering, facilities, experiments, modelling, analysis, and design and safety.

Scientific Programme and Publication
The symposium will consist of invited and contributed technical papers. Both oral presentation sessions and poster sessions are planned. Technical papers will be peer reviewed using the Elsevier peer review process, and accepted papers will be published in Fusion Engineering and Design. Additional information on the symposium and Hefei city is available at the symposium website, http://www.isfnt.com. Please check in frequently for the updated information.

Call for Abstracts
Authors are invited to submit one-page abstracts clearly stating the purpose, the principal
results, and major conclusions to be presented at the Symposium. Abstract submission should
be done through the electronic submission page on the web site. Abstract submission will be
available from 1 March, 2021 to 31 July, 2021. Further information regarding abstract submission can be found at the web site, http://www.isfnt.com.

Miya-Abdou Award
Significant contributions to development of fusion nuclear technology are recognized by nominations to the Miya-Abdou Award. Details regarding the award are available on the website, and the ISFNT international Committee encourages colleagues to nominate peers meeting the award criteria. A monetary award is provided to the winning candidate, sponsored by International Academy of Neutron Science.

FED Student Award
