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.

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.

High school student interns at EP2
From 9th to 11th April, two high school students were guests at the Chair of Experimental Plasma Physics. They experimented with the sputter coater, gained insight into current plasma research at the Ruhr-Universität and observed scientists at work.
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.
