Allain offered to arrange for a fusion-related mini-course at SOFE2013 or held in conjunction with the PPPS2013 mini-courses just before SOFE. • Given a venue change, the conference dates might also change. SOFE is usually held in the fall when not combined with ICOPS or PPPS. General Chair: Wayne Meier, LLNL Program Chair: Hutch Neilson, PPPL Date: June 23-27, 2013
