We are excited to welcome applications to the 2nd edition of the EUR (Ecole Universitaire de Recherches) PLASMAScience Summer School dedicated to low temperature plasmas that will be held in the island of Porquerolles, France, on June 22-28th, 2025. The School is a one-week, charge-free, training program for highly-motivated Ph.D students, post-docs and early career scientists interested in low temperature plasmas and their application for society. Particularly, this school aims to bridge fundamental concepts with innovative solutions based on plasma through classes and creative workshops.
The school will cover atmospheric pressure plasma, low-pressure plasma, plasma propulsion (aerodynamic & space), plasma medicine, plasma agriculture, plasma for energy (solar energy, fusion), solar materials), plasma for chemical conversion (CO2, etc), plasma nanotechnology, light sources, and also plasma diagnostics and modeling.
