The 20th Direct Drive and Fast Ignition Workshop (DDFIW) is held 19–22 May 2025 in GSI Darmstadt, Germany.

Abstract submission from 1 February to 31 March 2025. 

DDFIW provides a unique opportunity for European and overseas scientists working in theory, simulations, and experiments to present and discuss their latest results and future plans in an informal atmosphere. The meeting also addresses new schemes for inertial confinement fusion and related science at the cutting edge of high energy density physics research.

Representatives of leading laser user facilities will illustrate the opportunities for new experiments and the development of simulation codes and their validation with experiments will be discussed. The workshop will also give students and young scientists the chance to learn about IFE science and look for collaborations and opportunities offered by worldwide experimental, simulation, and theory groups.

The following timeline is expected for the workshop:

  • 01/02: Registration opens/ call for abstract
  • 15/03: Registration deadline for people who need a visum
  • 31/03: Deadline for call for abstracts/ early bird registration deadline
  • 25/04: Notification of acceptance/rejection
  • 04/05: Registration deadline for general attendees
