8TH INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON MICROPLASMAS
The 8th International Workshop on Microplasmas (IWM 2015) was held from May 11-15, 2015 at Seton Hall University, Seton Hall Law School campus, located in Newark, New Jersey. The IWM is hosted by the Department of Physics of the College of Arts & Sciences and the Gibbons Institute, Science & Technology Law of Seton Hall University. The German-French collaboration between GREMI (Orléans) and RUB (Bochum) continues and was being strengthened overseas as well as you can see on the photo: PhD students Judith Golda from RUB (right) together with Valentin Felix from GREMI (left).
Prof. Dr. Remi Dussart (GREMI) gave an invited talk about the common resarch topic "Performances

SUMMER SCHOOL ON PLASMA CHEMISTRY
From 2 to 4 July 2015, DIFFER hosted 40 students, PhD candidates and post-docs in a summer school on plasma chemistry as part of the 22nd International Symposium on Plasma Chemistry. The summer school programme concentrated on the basics of plasma physics and chemistry and its application. Expert courses and workshops delved into plasma physics, plasma chemistry, plasma sources and applications from thermal to non-equilibrium plasma technology. Prof. Dr. Achim von Keudell and Dr. Volker Schulz-von der Gathen (both from Experimentalphysics II, RUB) gave talks at this school.
