Artsimovich Memorial Lectures

The first technical session of the Seventh International Conference on Plasma Physics and Controlled Nuclear Fusion Research at Innsbruck from 23-30 August 1978 was called the Artsimovich Memorial Session to commemorate Lev Andreevich Artsimovich, who was known as an effective, talented and far-sighted contributor to nuclear fusion research. These lectures provide interesting insights from various leaders in field. The practice was discontinued after 2002.
