Dear EU-US I-mode team,

we will have our next I-mode WG meeting on Tuesday 23rd September at 10:30 am EDT / 4:30 pm CET / 7:30 am PDT. Zoom connection details:

ID: 948-1054-7070 / PW: 021741

The agenda of the meeting is:

• D. Fajardo: initial report on detached / high-radiative fraction Argon-seeded I-modes in AUG
• Discussion on I-mode experimental proposals for 2026-2027 (and more broadly proposed task work)

Concerning the last point, there are three open calls for experiments with deadlines approaching soon: AUG internal call for 2026 campaign (deadline 7th October), WEST internal call for 2026 campaign (deadline 3rd October) and EUROfusion WPTE call (covering AUG, WEST, MAST-U and TCV) for both 2026 and 2027 (deadline 10th of October). You can find the relevant documents in attachment.   A call for 2026 DIII-D proposals is expected later this fall.

Towards the end of the year we will hold another meeting where there will be reports on the 2025 tasks (so mainly multi-machine confinement time, separatrix operational space + summary of experimental results at DIII-D and hopefully WEST).

We also created a mailing list, mainly to facilitate our job. From now on, we can use the email address eu-us-wg-imode@lists.euro-fusion.org to exchange emails with the whole group.   This should include all those who have signed up and been getting WG emails via large cc list - please let us know of issues or changes to your preferred address.

Best regards,

Davide and Amanda
