Program of the International School on Low Temperature Plasma Physics and its Master Class 2025
In 2025, the 28th International School on 'Low Temperature Plasma Physics: Basics and Applications' (2025-10-04 - 2025-10-10) and its Master Class 'Smart organic coatings by plasmas' (2025-10-10 - 2025-10-11) 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.
