INTRODUCTION
The International Toki Conference (ITC) is an international conference for the discussion and presentation of research activities related to nuclear fusion and plasma. It has been held annually by the National Institute for Fusion Science in Toki city since 1989.SCOPE
Despite recent progress, steady state operation of fusion energy systems remains a major issue of research. The ITC-21 will focus on the integration of key science and technology towards high performance fusion energy systems with the capability for steady state operation. The conference topics cover a wide range of research in fusion science and near-term and long-term technology oriented to steady state operation.LIST OF TOPICS
1. Progress in fusion plasma confinement2. Plasma-wall interactions and divertor technology
3. Materials and blankets
4. Superconducting magnets, cryogenic systems and related technologies
5. Heating and fueling
6. Plasma diagnostics and control
7. Safety, environment and tritium control
8. Modeling and simulation for fusion plasma
9. Concepts of steady state DEMO
10. Interdisciplinary issues between fusion and other fields

PAPER SUBMISSION
The papers presented in the conference can be submitted to Plasma and Fusion Research (http://www.jspf.or.jp/PFR/) that is an electronic journal published by the Japan Society of Plasma Science and Nuclear Fusion Research. The papers go through all the peer-review process, and those accepted will be published as regular articles in the academic journal, PFR. The maximum length of the manuscript should be 8 pages for Plenary and Invited talks, and 4 pages for Contributed papers in the PFR format. Submission fee (article charge + page charge) of one paper for one registered participant is included in the registration fee. The deadline for the paper submission was extended to 9 Dec. 2011. The paper submission page will be closed after the deadline.
NOTE: Papers submitted to PFR after the deadline are not treated as the ITC-21 paper. Regular submission fee would be charged separately on those papers.
