27th International School on Low Temperature Plasma Physics: Basics and Applications

Program of the International School on Low Temperature Plasma Physics and its Master Class 2024

In 2024, the 27th International School on 'Low Temperature Plasma Physics: Basics and Applications' (2024-10-05 - 2024-10-11) and its Master Class 'Plasmas, liquids, and nanomaterials' (2024-10-11 - 2024-10-12) is planned to take place at the Physikzentrum Bad Honnef (Germany).

Program of the School

We are looking forward to it because, once again, we are putting together a very promising program, with the support of many colleagues who are willing to give a talk at the School.
