Introduction
The 2025 International Workshop on Models and Data for Plasma-Material Interactions in Fusion Devices (MoD-PMI) is organized in cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) for the seventh time. The event will discuss the underlying effects and related data on interactions between the fusion plasma fuel and reactor component materials. It brings together researchers and scientists from the areas of fusion energy and materials science to review advances in modelling of processes relevant to plasma-wall interactions (PWIs) and plasma-material interactions (PMIs) in fusion devices.
The Mod-PMI workshop aims to provide a bridge between fundamental computations and interpretation of experimental PMI data; it will address a variety of processes spanning a wide range of scales including erosion, transport and trapping of fusion fuel species in the wall, changes and evolution in the material microstructure, composition and morphology.
The MoD-PMI 2025 workshop will continue to act as a forum between the fusion PMI data users and the data providers with an aim to advance the fruitful communication between these two communities for finding gaps and needs in PMI data and to review the recent activities and to recommend new ones.
As the private fusion companies and enterprises have entered the fusion sector in the recent few years, the MoD-PMI 2025 welcomes participation of the private sector and promotes for further private-public partnerships in fusion knowledge exchange.
MoD-PMI 2025 will take place at IAEA Headquarters (Vienna, Austria) and is a satellite workshop for the 20th International Conference on Plasma-Facing Materials and Components for Fusion Applications (PFMC-20).
Participants are invited to propose a presentation of their research, either as an oral contribution or as a poster.
Audience
Research scientists related to nuclear fusion, at any stage of their career, who are involved in the quantitative and qualitative study, measurement, analysis, modelling, simulation or prediction of processes in plasma-material interactions in fusion devices, using or producing fundamental data on these processes. Experimental and theoretical approaches are welcomed.
The IAEA is committed to the promotion of gender equality in all its activities and qualified women scientists are particularly encouraged to participate in the meeting.

About the Organizer
Atomic and Molecular Data Unit, IAEA
The IAEA's Atomic and Molecular Data (AMD) Unit has facilitated collaborative international research for the production, evaluation and recommendation of data for global fusion R&D [1]. The AMD Unit maintains both numerical and bibliographical databases for fusion [2] and has organized several international coordinated research programmes, meetings, workshops and schools to review atomic and molecular (AM) and plasma-surface interaction (PSI) as well as plasma-material interaction (PMI) research for fusion [3-5].
