Originally based two hubs, one located at the ENEA Frascati Research Center and another at the University of Science and Technology of China, Hefei, the CNPS network has been extended to include broader collaborations. The main scope of CNPS is the proposal of joint research projects, exchange of faculty members, researchers and students, and organization of workshops and schools. Topics of interest cover nonlinear plasma science in a broad sense, including laboratory and space environments; specifically, magnetic fusion, laser-plasma and beam-plasma interactions, as well as space physics and plasma astrophysics.
