21st International Conference on Ion Sources
We are pleased to announce the International Conference on Ion Sources 2025 in Oxford, UK from the 8th to the 12th of September 2025. ICIS’25 is the 21st event in a biennial series of conferences that are dedicated to Ion Sources and their applications. It will be hosted by STFC (www.stfc.ac.uk), the UK’s Science and Technology Facilities Council.
ICIS'25 will offer plenary sessions of invited and contributed oral presentations. There will be three poster sessions. A student poster award is planned for ICIS’25. The scientific program will cover themes of the ion sources science and technology that are relevant to the production of ion beams for scientific research and for applications. ICIS traditionally addresses:
- Fundamental processes in ion sources and plasmas
- Beam formation, extraction, transport, and diagnostics
- Key technologies for ion sources
- Production of high intensity ion beams
- Production of highly charged ion beams
- Negative ion sources and sources for fusion facilities
- Polarized ion sources
- Radioactive ion sources and charge breeders
- Applications of ion sources
The Host: STFC
The Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC)’s mission is to deliver world-leading national and international research and innovation capabilities and, through those, discover the secrets of the Universe. The major research and innovation campuses at Harwell, Daresbury and research facilities across the UK and overseas support fundamental research in astronomy, physics, computational science and space science.
Co-Host: CCFE
The Culham Centre for Fusion Energy (CCFE) is part of the UK Atomic Energy Authority and is based at Culham Campus near Oxford. CCFE has been a major international fusion research site since the early 1960s. CCFE operated the world’s largest tokamak experiment, the Joint European Torus (JET). CCFE manages the UK fusion programme, whose centrepiece is the new MAST Upgrade experiment.
CCFE is a member of the EUROfusion consortium, which comprises 30 fusion research organisations and universities from 25 European member states plus Switzerland, the UK and Ukraine. CCFE scientists play a full part in the co-ordinated European research programme run by EUROfusion.
We look forward to seeing you at ICIS’25 in September 2025!
