This year I am organizing an International Workshop on Models and Data for Plasma-Material Interaction (MoD-PMI 2015) in cooperation with IAEA; it is intended to bring together researchers from the areas of fusion energy and materials science to review advances in modeling of processes relevant to plasma-wall interaction in fusion devices. The workshop aims to provide a bridge between fundamental computations and interpretation of experimental data; it will address a variety of processes spanning a wide range of scales including erosion, transport and trapping of hydrogen and helium in the wall, changes in the material microstructure, composition and morphology.
