International School on Low Temperature Plasma Physics

Diving into Low Temperature Plasma Physics

Since the 1990s, first-year doctoral students and final-year master's students meet to connect with experts in the field of low temperature plasma physics. The International School on Low Temperature Plasma Physics builds a solid understanding of the current state-of-the-art in low temperature plasma physics.

The course comprises:

• An introduction to the fundamentals of plasma physics
• An overview of key research areas, from plasma sources, to simulations, to advanced diagnostic methods, including:
  • Non-thermal and thermal plasmas, low-pressure and high-pressure plasmas
  • Atomic processes and electron kinetics
  • Fluid modelling and other approaches
  • Plasma diagnostics, in particular plasma spectroscopy
  • Plasma-surface intercations
• An intensive exchange with the lecturers and other students from the research area.

The lectures are complemented by hands-on workshops, career/industry talks, evening lectures and several networking opportunities with teachers and students from other universities in Europe and the rest of the world.

The subsequent Master Class highlights the latest breakthroughs and current trends in plasma research, offering a unique opportunity to connect theory with cutting-edge science.
