Japan-RUB Workshop

Bridging the Pandemic: Reigniting Cooperation on Plasma Research

160 years ago the Japanese government and Prussia signed the first treaty about diplomatic, commercial, and cultural exchange. This is generally considered as the start of a long and intense history of official relations between our countries. Indeed, the 160^th anniversary is now being celebrated by various events throughout the year. With this workshop, we want to use the opportunity to revitalize also our relations in low-temperature plasma science, which have been hit hard by the pandemic lockdown in recent years.

Research on topics generally related to the CRC1316 (Transient Atmospheric Pressure Plasmas: From Plasmas to Liquids to Solids) at RUB is in the focus of the workshop .

The format of the workshop is slightly unusual but designed to be most convenient for both sides, German as well as Japanese participants. Considering the time shift between Germany and Japan, the schedule is distributed over seven days within six weeks.

There will be speakers from the following Japanese universities/institutes: AIST (National Institute of Industrial Science and Technology), Hokkaido University, Iwate University, Keio University, Kyushu University, Nagoya University, Osaka University, Tohoku University, Tokyo Institute of Technology, Tokyo Metropolitan University, University of Tokyo.

Registration

You can register for the workshop below. Please, make sure to enter a valid email address, as it will be used to publish the link to the video conference, the poster session and all further communication. After registration it is possible to enter a poster title and upload the corresponding poster file (pdf). This is only necessary, if you want to contribute to the poster session.

Note, that the registration form is also the login form. To access your information simply enter the same e-mail address and password as in your registration (no need to fill in the other fields again). If you are redirected to the registration form again after a login attempt, this means that you probably entered a wrong password.

In case of any technical issues regarding the registration form and/or the poster upload, please contact jan.kuhfeld (at) rub.de.
