+===== Grand Challenges in Computational Plasma Physics =====
+Energy and matter, which are the basic components of our physical world, are manifested in various ways
+under different physical conditions and are affected by various processes. The fusion of light nuclides
+forms the basis of energy release in the universe, which can potentially be harnessed and used as a clean
+and sustainable supply of energy.  One excellent example of an international program for the development of fusion as an economic energy source is the [[http://www.iter.org/news/videos|ITER project.]] [[http://www.iter.org/news/videos/276|1]] [[http://www.iter.org/news/videos/281|2]] [[http://www.iter.org/news/videos/334|3]] The mission of the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of [[http://extremecomputing.labworks.org/fusion/plenaries/eckstrand.pdf|Fusion Energy Sciences (FES) program]] is to expand the fundamental understanding of matter at very high temperatures and densities, and to build the scientific foundations needed to develop a fusion energy
+source. A key need is the timely development of a predictive integrated simulation capability for
+magnetically confined fusion plasmas that are properly validated against experiments in regimes relevant
+for practical fusion energy production. Additional objectives are to pursue scientific opportunities and
+grand challenges in plasma science—including high-energy density plasma science—to better understand
+the universe and to enhance national security and economic competitiveness.
