1st NNV Plasma Physics Symposium Rolduc
This 1st “Plasma Rolduc” conference, short for “NNV Plasma Physics Symposium Rolduc”, is part of a new conference series that revives and combines two series of 2-day annual plasma physics meeting in The Netherlands: the series in Lunteren (NNV Section meeting), and the one in Rolduc (WELT-PP). The one in Lunteren united all groups in The Netherlands that are active in plasma physics, including Fusion. The one in Rolduc concentrated on low-temperature plasma physics, but did include the nearby groups in Germany and Belgium. The Covid pandemia has disrupted both series of meetings but we are back with a strong, larger conference now at location Rolduc covering a broad range of plasma physics research done in group in The Netherlands, Belgium, and Germany (this is a non-exclusive list of course).
The conference is organized by the section Sectie Plasma- en Gasontladingsfysica (NNV-PG) of the Netherlands’ Physical Society (NNV).
Key dates
The conference will take place April 2nd and 3rd, 2025.
More dates to follow in due time.
Symposium venue
The conference will be held in Rolduc, a medieval abbey located on the edge of the town of Kerkrade in the far south-east of the Netherlands.
