25th International Plasma School
From 01 October to 6 October the Plasma School took place again in Bad Honnef. In the 25th edition, 69 students from 13 countries were able to expand their knowledge of plasma physics and plasma technology at the Physics Center. Subsequently, the Master Class started on October 7, this year on the topic of electric propulsion.
The local organization of the plasma school by the Research Department was supported this year by the international chairmen Jan Benedikt and Holger Kersten from CAU Kiel.

Successful Plasma Summer School in 2022
The 25th International Plasma School on "Low Temperature Plasma Physics: Basics and Applications" (October 1-5, 2022) and the Master Class "Electric Propulsion" (October 6-8, 2022) in will have been held again in presence in Bad Honnef (Germany).
This year the school follows a long tradition of 23 editions in person and one online edition in the past. Last year we had to suspend the school, but that is now behind us and this year the school will again have been held at the Physics Center in Bad Honnef (Germany). We are confident that we will be able to organize everything as planned, but will also plan generously for room occupancy to be prepared for any changes in the COVID-19 situation.
Thanks to the enthusiastic support of numerous teachers and experts willing to give lectures at the Plasma School, we were again able to put together a promising program.

CRC 1316 MGK Colloquium
With the start of the second funding period, all PhD students of the projects within the CRC 1316 were invited to participate in the annually MGK colloquium. The colloquium was held online at 7th and 8th of March 2022 and was organized by Maximilian Klich (project A8) and David Schulenberg (project A4).
The colloquium served as an introduction of the many new PhDs joining the CRC 1316 in its second funding period. Without the participation of project leaders it achieved a casual atmosphere for sharing scientific knowledge and interests between the PhD students. Here, they could introduce themselves and their pro- jects as well as give a short summary about their pro- jects achievements and future plans through talks or a poster presentation. Leading the talks regarding the different research topics modelling, DBD/RF discharg- es and plasma in liquids were the invited speakers which generated a well rounded experience.
The new funding period also required a few elections, namely the position of the PhD speaker formerly held by Maximilian Klich, as well as a position in the CRC 1316 gender board held by Lars Schücke (project A7) and Katharina Grosse (project B7). The newly elect- ed PhD speaker is David Schulenberg and Stefanie Bo- genrieder (project B4) as well as Lukas Forschner (project B12) are the new gender board representative.

Successful Plasma Summer School in 2020 in an online format
Due to the current situation, this year's summer school did not take place at the usual location of the physics center in Bad Honnef, but online. The regular programme consisting of basic plasma physics lectures combined with a master class on special topics could not take place as usual. Nevertheless, all teachers have agreed to deliver their basic lectures via an online video format. The summer school was extended to two weeks with two lectures per day. This year more people were able to tune in, because the online format is much easier to reach from regions with limited travel possibilities.
The lectures were technically flawless and the feedback from students and teachers was very positive. Many discussions and interactions could be made possible due to the high commitment of all teachers. Two practical workshops were also held by L. L. Alves on solving the Boltzmann equation and by N. Braithwaite on analyzing the Paschen curve.
We hope for another summer school in 2021, then again in the facilities of the physics center in Bad Honnef. The latest information on the planning for 2021 will be published at the summer school homepage in March 2021.

Online Plasma Summer School in 2020
Although the situation regarding the Covid 19 pandemic is affecting our day-to-day business at the moment, we are trying to plan the upcoming International Low Temperature Plasma Physics School for October 2020. Therefore, the 24th International Plasma School on "Low Temperature Plasma Physics: Fundamentals and Applications" (October 3-8, 2020) will be an online course over two weeks (October 5-16, 2020). Unfortunately, the Master Class "Spectroscopy" for 2020 has to be cancelled. However, this master class will have been held during the next school in 2021.

International School on Low Temperature Plasma Physics 2020
Due to the situation with Covid-19, the Plasma School will be an online course lasting over two weeks (October 5th until October 16th, 2020). Unfortunately, the Master Class “Spectroscopy” has to be cancelled for 2020. However, this Master Class will take place during the next school in 2021.
Since all teachers of the school confirmed their participation also in an online format, we changed the schedule, so that the intensity of the courses will be comfortable for the participants. Some of the courses will be online in advance, so that you can decide when to watch the videos. Other teachers prefer to do their courses live, so there will be a defined time slot to watch the lectures. However, all teacher of the corresponding day will be available online for Q & A discussions in the afternoon. The school will be free of charge for all participants.
In order to guarantee an optimal interaction between teachers and students, we limit the access to the school. Therefore, a registration on the school webpage is necessary with an appropriate motivation text. Please, register until July 15th if you would like to attend the online format of the school. After this date, the organization team will decide about the participants. All previously registered students will of course also be considered for the school's online format.
