Plasma experiments with the mouse
On 3th October, we celebrated the nationwide Mouse Day. The Faculty of Physics at Ruhr-University Bochum invited children to discover the exciting world of physics and try their hand at lots of experiments. In our workshop, the children were able to explore the glow of plasma and its applications. As a souvenir, the Mouse fans coated small ducks with gold using plasma.

Conference
Several contributions on the International Conference on Phenomena in Ionized Gases (ICPIG)
In July, the scientific work of the CRC 1316 has been presented in four talks and several posters in Aix en Provence during the ICPIG conference. At this conference, various fields within plasma physics are joined: Modelling and experiments, from fundamental research to applications. CRC Members from the physics, chemistry and engineering department contributed to the fruitful scientific exchange. One highlight was an excursion to the ITER site; the large research reactor for fusion, currently being built in Cadarache.

Meeting
CRC annual meeting in Hamminkeln
Building on the success of last year, this year’s general assembly of CRC 1316 once again took place in Hamminkeln-Dingden.
Over the course of three days, the CRC 1316 members discussed recent results and especially focussed on the upcoming scientific work.
The overwhelmingly positive feedback highlights the importance of this annual gathering in fostering scientific dialogue and advancing collaborative research.

Workshop
RDM Workshop
From May 12 to 13, the 4th Workshop on FAIR Data in Plasma Science (FDPS-IV) took place online and in-person at the Leibniz Institute for Plasma Science and Technology (INP) in Greifswald, Germany. This workshop was a continuation of annual events on research data management in the low-temperature plasma community. Ranging from general presentations on frameworks for research data management and the creation of suitable ontologies towards hands-on examples on the use of electronic lab books during student’s practical exercises, recent developments within the field have been discussed. This workshop provided a valuable platform to exchange experiences and ideas on future implementations, .as research data management following the FAIR-principle (findable, accessible, interoperable, reusable) becomes more and more important within the community. In particular the use of an electronic lab book has been topic of several contributions. Thanks to the organizers Marina Prenzel (RUB), Andreas Schramm (RUB), Markus Becker (INP) and Kerstin Sgonina (CAU Kiel) for this valuable opportunity to exchange expertise.

Conference
CRC1316 presents at ISPC 26
Seven researchers from the CRC1316 presented their results at the international symposium on plasma chemistry ISPC 26 in Minneapolis 15.6.-20.6.2025. The contributions included one invited lecture, 4 oral presentations, and one poster. The conference offered the possibility to interact with the peers in the community and to exchange new ideas and identify new trends.

Plasma Science for the 21st century - CRC1316 presents its goal to the National Teachers Congress
The 115th MNU congress took place in Bochum 1st-4th of May 2025. Judith Golda and Achim von Keudell presented a lecture on plasma science of the CRC1316 in combination with a few experiments from the plasma truck portfolio. A large audience was impressed and inspired by the enormous range of applications of plasmas.

Conference
Plasma Rolduc
The CRC1316 contributed to the newly started joint conference ''Plasma Rolduc''. This 1st “Plasma Rolduc” conference, short for “NNV Plasma Physics Symposium Rolduc”, is part of a new conference series that revives and combines two series of 2-day annual plasma physics meeting in The Netherlands: the series in Lunteren (NNV Section meeting), and the one in Rolduc (WELT-PP). The one in Lunteren united all groups in the Netherlands active in plasma physics, including Fusion. The one in Rolduc concentrated on low-temperature plasma physics, but did include the nearby groups in Germany and Belgium. The COVID pandemic has disrupted both meetings, but the field is back on track with a strong, larger conference now at Rolduc covering a broad range of plasma physics research in the groups in the Netherlands, Belgium, and Germany.

Conference
DPG Göttingen 2025
From 31 March to 4 April 2025, the Germany Physics Society (DPG) Spring Meeting in Göttingen, Section Matter and Cosmos, took place in Göttingen.
The CRC 1316 participated in the spring conference with three invited talks, numerous oral presentations and poster presentations. With these contributions, we presented the CRC research as well as we exchanged our knowlendge with other scientists in the field. Several fruitful discussions opened up the way for new ideas and future cooperations.
