IWM 2017
The IWM 2017 was in the Riessersee Hotel in Garmisch-Partenkirchen from June 6-9, 2017. The workshop with familiar atmosphere was a great success for participants as well as for the organization team. Great discussion around the individual sessions and contributions made the four days workshop special. Also, the social program with a hiking tour and a visit of castel Linderhof contributed to the overall success of the workshop.
Within the workshop was the final symposium of the Marie Curie - Initial Training Network - Reactive Atmospheric Plasma Processing (www.rapid-itn.eu).
The next IWM 10 will take place in Kyoto from May 21st until May 24th, 2019.

Carles Corbella in St. Gallen
Carles Corbella (EP2) performed a short stay (15.-19.05.17) at the EMPA in St. Gallen, Switzerland, where he investigated the deposition of barrier coatings on polymers using large plasma chambers. The visit was part of the activities of the SFB-TR 87. In front of a roll-to-roll coater, from left to right: Ezgi, Dirk, Barbara, and Carles.
