Announcement for the 4^th Workshop on FAIR Data in Plasma Science

We are happy to announce the 4th Workshop on FAIR Data in Plasma Science (FDPS-IV), which will take place online and in-person on
12-13 May, 2025 at the Leibniz Institute for Plasma Science and Technology (INP) in Greifswald, Germany. 

This workshop is intended to provide an overview of successful solutions for collaborative research data management with the goal to make data findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable (FAIR). It is a continuation of annual events on research data management in the low-temperature plasma (LTP) community in the past years. Open for everyone, the FDPS-IV workshop provides insights into best practice in day-to-day research work as well as infrastructure tools for handling of research data. To even broaden the discussion on future applications, a poster session will be held in-person.

Call for poster contributions
Researchers, data managers, and practitioners are invited to contribute to the discussion with a poster on their solutions on research data management. Submissions that highlight real-world experiences, best practices, and insights related to the integration of FAIR principles into research workflows are encouraged.

Registration
The workshop will be held as a hybrid meeting and participation is free of charge. Please save the date and register by following the registration link on the workshop website: https://www.plasma-mds.org/ws-fair-data-plasma-science-4.html.
Poster contributions must be submitted during the registration process. Please note that the attendance in person at INP and the number of poster spaces is limited, so early registration is encouraged to secure your spot (max. DIN A0, portrait format).
The registration will be closed on 4th May, 2025.

Contact 
The workshop organization is part of the activities of the working group Experimental Plasma Physics at the Kiel University (CAU), the INF project of the CRC 1316 at the Ruhr-University Bochum (RUB) and of the department Plasma Modelling and Data Science at Leibniz Institute for Plasma Science and Technology (INP).

Meeting

PI meeting

To discuss the next steps on collaborations and to prepare the proposal for the next funding period, the principal investigators (PIs) came together for an intense meeting on the 5th and 6th of March at Beckmanns Hof, Ruhr-Universität Bochum. During 1.5 days, the actual status of the individual projects has been presented and collaborations with other projects have been pointed out. Fruitful discussions led to a common mind to face the upcoming challenges.

Meeting

MGK Colloquium

From March 5th to 7th, the early career scientists of the CRC 1316 held their annual MGK Kolloquium in Bonn to discuss recent developments in their respective projects. The event is an opportunity for the PhD students and postdocs of the CRC to exchange information and discuss their research and challenges in a relaxed environment. Additionally, three invited speakers gave insights into a career after the PhD, either remaining in academia or finding their way into industry. First Dr. Julian Held presented on the academic career path after the PhD as an assistant professor at TU Eindhoven. Dr. Sebastian Burhenn then introduced his career path as a technology consultant at VDI Technologiezentrum. Finally, Dr. Celia Millon presented her work at RayVen Lasers and her perspective on the career path of an entrepreneur. The group also went on an excursion to the Arithmeum at Bonn University.
