Code Centres Network

The Code Centres Network (CCN), coordinated by the AMD Unit, is a joint effort to gather and provide access to any information relevant for modelers in fusion plasma science. Its focus is on the modelling and calculation of data that are difficult to measure experimentally.

The AMD Unit holds a biennial meeting for the analysis, coordination and planning of CCN activities, with each meeting focusing on a particular project or database of importance to the nuclear fusion energy community.
