In the name of the partners of the Baltic Sea Region programme project «PlasTEP» we are pleased to announce the International interdisciplinary summer school on plasma technologies for environmental protection. The Summer school will be hosted by the Riga Technical University (Latvia) and is to be held from the 9th to the 20th August, 2010.

The summer school lasts for twelve days and includes presentations and discussion groups led by international experts in the field of plasma technologies, combustion and environmental protection. In addition to the discussion programme, the students are divided into teams to undertake short research activities on issues of importance within the plasma technologies area, with a presentation to their peers at the end of the week. Time is also allocated for networking and for informal discussions with the assembled experts.

Students leaving at the end of the twelfth day will have developed a network of contacts in the field of plasma technologies and environmental protection and will have gained a broad overview of the issues surrounding sustainable environmental technologies development and implementation. The target group for the summer school is bachelor and master students, young scientists, e.g. PhD students with a background in engineering, environmental protection and socio-economics. Generally, 30 students from both developed and developing countries will participate in the Summer school.
