Abstract
The 3rd International Joint Experiment has been carried out on ISTTOK following the last RUSFD (technical meeting on Research Using Small Fusion Devices) conference, held at Lisbon, in the scope of the IAEA Coordinated Research Project. This program has allowed a great knowledge interchange among the “small” fusion devices community and, in particular, in the development of common work-programs. This communication gives an overview of the impact of such activities. The JE have proved to be a very useful applied forum to share knowledge and to initiate young scientists in some fields of tokamak operation and diagnostics. Many of the ISTTOK 2008 relevant results were obtained under this scope.
