The following topics will be discussed during the workshop:

• Anomalous Transport (Turbulence, Coherent Structures, Microinstabilities)
• RF Heating and Current Drive
• Non Axisymmetric Configurations
• Macroinstabilities and Magnetic Reconnections
• Theoretical Aspects of Plasma-Edge Physics and Divertors
• Theoretical issues related to burning plasmas
