Transforming and Evolving: The Legacy of the Research Department Plasmas with Complex Interactions and the Birth of the Plasma Science Hub

In 2009, the Research Department Plasmas with Complex Interactions (RDPCI) was established with a clear mission: to intensify the networking of plasma related research groups on RUB campus. Over the past decade, RDPCI has been at the forefront of plasma research, making significant contributions to both fundamental science and practical applications.

As we approach the end of 2025, we mark the close of this esteemed research department. However, this is not an end, but a transformation. The knowledge, expertise, and innovation that have been built up within the RDPCI will live on and evolve into a new initiative: the Plasma Science Hub.

The Plasma Science Hub: A New Era

The Plasma Science Hub is designed to build upon the strong foundation laid by RDPCI. It will serve as a dynamic platform for interdisciplinary collaboration, fostering advancements in plasma science and technology. The Hub will focus on:

  • Cutting-edge Research: Continuing to push the boundaries of plasma physics, with a particular emphasis on complex interactions and novel applications.
  • Interdisciplinary Collaboration: Bringing together experts from diverse fields to tackle complex challenges and explore new opportunities.
  • Innovation and Impact: Translating research findings into real-world solutions, benefiting industry, society, and the environment.
  • Education and Outreach: Inspiring and training the next generation of plasma scientists, and engaging with the public to share the excitement and importance of plasma research.

A Heartfelt Thank You

We would like to express our deepest gratitude to everyone who has been part of the RDPCI journey. To our dedicated researchers, students, and staff, your hard work, creativity, and passion have made this department a beacon of excellence in plasma science. To our collaborators and partners, your support and cooperation have been invaluable. To our funders, your commitment to advancing plasma research has enabled us to achieve so much.

Looking Ahead

While we bid farewell to RDPCI, we eagerly anticipate the future of the Plasma Science Hub. We invite you to join us on this exciting new chapter, as we continue to explore, innovate, and make a difference in the world of plasma science.
