The workshop is regularly used as a technology stimulus by participants from industry, business-related research and plasma plant engineering.

The thematic focus of this workshop was on new possibilities for adhesion improvement for specific applications and material combinations. In addition to special cleaning, activation and coating processes as well as analytical issues for the proof of adhesion improvement, new and further developed plasma system technology with special applications were presented and discussed.

The focus of the panel discussion, followed by a broad discussion between all participants and the experts, was on possibilities of surface analytics for an application-dependent optimal proof of the adhesion properties of material combinations. It emerged that, when transferring new developments from research to industry, one focus should be on providing an optimal means of process control and quality assurance. The willingness of companies to innovate can be significantly promoted by an inline quality proof that is safe/unambiguous, fast, non-destructive and cost-effective to handle.

The offer for contact initiation, communication and information exchange was also extensively used within the framework of the established evening event and regulars' table.
