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.
Announcement for the 4th 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).

General Assembly 2025
For two days in February, all SFB1491 researchers came together at TU Dortmund to discuss the latest results, covering a wide range of topics including the search for dark matter, investigating (cosmic) magnetic fields, the modeling of accretion and ejection phenomena in astrophysics, and the exploration of cosmic rays and neutrinos in astrophysical as well as collider experiments.
A special highlight were the keynote talks by Dr. Imre Bartos (University of Florida) on "The Expanding Gravitational Wave Horizon: Emerging Opportunities for Multimessenger Discovery" and Dr. Daniel Verscharen (Mullard Space Science Laboratory) on "Electron heat flux in structured plasmas: collisions, trapping, and wave-particle interactions".

Plasma School
The 27th International Plasma School on "Low Temperature Plasma Physics: Basics and Applications," took place from October 5 to October 10, 2024, in Bad Honnef, Germany. The Master Class titled “Plasmas, Liquids, and Nanomaterials,” was held from October 11th to October 12th, 2024. For more information , please visit our website: www.plasma-school.org.
PI Days September 2024
The official fall workshop of our PIs took place at Volmarstein Castle.
Away from the hustle and bustle of our universities, we worked intensively and focused on the future of our CRC: current projects were discussed and new research questions identified in lively talks, smaller discussion groups and the entire plenary session.
It remains exciting with cosmic interacting matter!
