The conference will focus on diagnostics systems, related technologies, and control systems for ITER and in general for machines aimed at the production of fusion power. The context is the operation of ITER and satellites (including JT-60SA, DTT and stellarators) and the start of a design of DEMO fusion power plant. New diagnostics realized inside the worldwide programme in support of fusion are included. Specific areas of concentration include:

1. Diagnostic systems: solutions and technologies for ITER
2. Diagnostics and controls for ITER: machine protection, plasma scenarios, burn control
3. New concepts of diagnostics for burning plasmas (Including JET DTE2)
4. Diagnostics for devices in operation in the decades of ITER (including JT60SA, DTT, Wendelstein-7X, SPARC)
5. Forward look at requirements for diagnostics, controls and technologies of DEMO
6. Diagnostics specific for fusion-fission hybrid reactors
7. Diagnostics developments in the worldwide fusion programme relevant for fusion reactors including data production, analysis and validation.
