Program 2020

Our series of schools on low temperature plasma physics has been a great success in the last two decades.

In 2020, the 24th International School on "Low Temperature Plasma Physics: Basics and Applications" (October 3th to 8th, 2020) and its Master Class "Spectroscopy" (October 8th to 10th, 2020) will take place at the Physikzentrum Bad Honnef (Germany).

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.
