43rd ak-adp workshop incl. competition #ZukunftADP - registration released

Industry Dialog for Sustainability - Plasma Technology in
Best Practice Examples -
incl. Continuation Competition #ZukunftADP

The user group atmospheric pressure plasma ak-adp as an open technology platform invites users, researchers and equipment manufacturers for the use of physical plasmas to exchange information and ideas with a focus on future potential and sustainability.

What opportunities do physical plasmas offer in the establishment of environmentally compatible production methods? - Which new surface functionalities can be realized? - What contribution do physical plasmas make to the effective use of resources? - Which main fields of application does the industry see?

Since 2009, the user group atmospheric pressure plasma ak-adp has stood for technology-related information exchange, contact initiation and constructive discussion.

The #ZukunftADP competition, first held by ak-adp in 2021, will be continued in 2023 in search of THE future topics in plasma research and industrial use. In their combination, workshop and competition offer a perfect basis for scientific creativity with an industrial background.

The workshop will be held at the Grassi Museum in Leipzig on April 26-27, 2023. Presentation submissions are welcome. Discuss your ideas and conditions in an open atmosphere. Reserve the date and feel free to register.

The competition is aimed at students, doctoral candidates, researchers and representatives of industry in the field of atmospheric plasmas. Ideas that identify atmospheric plasmas as a technology with future potential can be submitted until Jan. 15, 2023. We are looking for ideas, concepts and best practices on atmospheric plasmas in terms of

  • innovative product development
  • Generation of new surface properties
  • creative approaches for overhauling traditional, established processes
  • Environmental protection, resource efficiency & sustainability
  • Energy, material and process savings as well as recycling
  • health aspects

We are looking forward to receiving your contribution as a 3-page abstract with keyfacts, keywords & graphical abstract as well as complete contact details to info@ak-adp.de. The contributions will be evaluated by a renowned jury of experts. We have already been able to win WOMAG as an exclusive partner for a publication series on the submitted contributions.
