Junior scientist event WELTPP-17
The 17th Workshop on the Exploration of Low Temperature Plasma Physics (WELTPP-17) will be held on November 20th-21st, 2014 at the old convent Rolduc in Kerkrade. This workshop is intended for active scientists working in the field of low temperature plasma physics and is sponsored by the Research Department of Plasmas with Complex Interactions of the Ruhr-Universität Bochum, SFB-TR 87 and Eindhoven University of Technology.
This year a complementary workshop for Young Professionals in Microplasmas Research will be organised at the Ruhr-Universität Bochum just after WELTPP (24-26th November 2014).

DANIEL SCHRÖDER IN YORK
PhD Student Daniel Schröder went on a research stay for three months at the York Plasma Institute (YPI), University of York, UK (March 4th - May 31st, 2014). Together with the local physicists and scientists from different disciplines (biology and chemistry), he worked on the investigation of the ozone radical for biomedical treatments. Plasma scientists use electrically-driven gas discharges, so-called plasma devices, to generate chemical reactive species like ozone, that are used for several treatments e.g. wound healing of human skin.
During his stay, they achieved to characterise the dynamics of ozone in dependence of the induced electrical power, within their plasma source. By understanding these, biologists will be able to taylor the dosis of ozone reaching organic substrates like cells or skin according to the desired medical effect.

20.05.2014 - 5TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON PLASMA MEDICINE (ICPM5)
The ICPM is a full-week conference held from the 18th to the 23rd of May, 2014, in Nara, Japan. The field of "plasma medicine" is growing rapidly and this conference provides an ideal venue for the exchange of new ideas and information and support the initiation or further development of international collaborations among researchers in this multidisciplinary field. Multidisciplinary is also team of researchers coming from Ruhr-University Bochum, which contains microbiologist (Prof. Julia Bandow with invited oral presentation), electrical engineer (Dr. Jan-Wilm Lackman with contributed oral presentation) and two physicists (Simon Schneider, contributed oral presentation, travel supported by the RUB Research School; and Prof. Jan Benedikt, poster presentation). They are presenting the results of a DFG funded project package "Plasma-Microbe Interaction during Plasma-based Surface Decontamination" (Plasmadecon, PAK728 proposal-package).

14.04.2014 - 72ND IUVSTA WORKSHOP
The 72nd IUVSTA Workshop “Plasma-assisted vapour deposition of oxide-based thin films and coatings” was held between April 6th and 11th, 2014 in Schloss Seggau (near Graz), Austria. This constituted a nice forum for scientific discussion about coating synthesis by plasma CVD, sputtering and vacuum arc deposition. Dr. Carles Corbella, from the Reactive Plasmas Group, presented the work “Upscaling plasma deposition: the influence of technological parameters” as a contributed talk.
