Description
   It is widely recognized that turbulence is an important and exciting frontier topic of both basic and applied plasma physics - as well as of many neighboring fields of science. Numerous aspects of this paradigmatic example of nonlinear multiscale dynamics remain to be better understood. Meanwhile, for both astrophysical and laboratory plasmas, an impressive combination of new experimental an observational data, new theoretical concepts, and new computational capabilities (on the brink of the exascale era!) have and will become available. Thus, we are facing a unique window of opportunity to push the boundaries of our grasp of plasma turbulence. I will describe recent advances and future challenges in this vibrant area of research.
