REGISTRATION IS CLOSED Why join the PLASMAScience Summer School

We are excited to announce the second edition of the PLASMAScience Summer School, dedicated to low-temperature plasmas.

It will be held on Porquerolles Island, France, from June 22 to 28, 2025. The Summer School is a one-week, free-of-charge, training program for highly motivated PhD students, postdoctoral fellows, and early-career scientists interested in low-temperature plasmas.

Topics

The school will cover topics such as plasma electrochemistry, the use of low-pressure RF plasmas in microelectronics, atmospheric-pressure surface treatment, applications of plasma in space propulsion, plasma processes for solar cell production, agricultural and food applications of plasmas, plasma-assisted green chemical conversion, and related topics.
