5th Workshop on FAIR Data in Plasma Science (FDPS-V)

We are pleased to announce the 5th Workshop on FAIR Data in Plasma Science (FDPS-V), which will take place on 11–12 May 2026 at Ruhr-Universität Bochum (RUB), Germany. Virtual participation will also be available. The workshop continues the annual series of events on research data management within the low-temperature plasma (LTP) community. Its goal is to present current developments and to strengthen community exchange on this topic.

FDPS-V will provide an overview of successful solutions for collaborative research data management aimed at making data findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable (FAIR), thereby fostering broader use of data-driven research methods. The program will cover best practices for everyday research activities as well as infrastructure tools for research data handling. Successful examples from plasma research groups and collaborative research centers will be presented. In addition, future developments and standardization efforts for data sharing and reporting within the LTP community will be discussed.

The workshop will be held as a hybrid event, and participation is free of charge. Please save the date and register via the link provided on the workshop website.

Attendance in person at INP is limited, so early registration is encouraged. The application form will be closed on 3th May, 2025.
