Workshops
The following half-day workshops will take place on Monday 6 November:
SESSION AM1: LINKING ACADEMIA & INDUSTRY
There is a high demand for collaborations between academia and industry that apply fundamental scientific understanding and state-of-the-art plasma diagnostics to practical problems that cannot be solved empirically. This workshop aims at identifying potential topics of partnerships between industry and academia as well as problems that limit their foundation. Selected examples of successful collaborations will be presented.
One of several examples is the field of process control: Typically, academia aims at developing complicated self-consistent and slow models that provide a detailed understanding of fundamental effects, while the industry requires more simplified quick models for real-time
process control, that do not have to be self-consistent. Meanwhile, industry often does not characterize plasmas sufficiently via complementary diagnostics to provide a basis for the unique identification of problems, that limit process control, and for their solution based on scientific understanding of the plasma physics. Clearly, the combination of the complementary expertise of academia and industry is required to move forward.

SESSION AM4: SCIENTIFIC PAPER WRITING WORKSHOP
Monday Morning, 6 November 2017
Room: Foster at 9:00
Mark Koepke, West Virginia University, presiding
AM4 1 Scientific Paper Writing Workshop, led by Dr. Bodil Holst*, Professor, Head of Nanophysics Group, University of Bergen.
This 3.5-hour morning workshop has two main goals. Firstly, to provide the participants
with a set of “tools” helping them to present their scientific results in a clear and interesting way and, secondly, to make them aware of various strategic issues connected to paper writing (in which journal to publish, proper cover letter to the editor, etc.). The workshop is presented in English.
The participants are encouraged to bring drafts of own papers, in particular an abstract for at least one paper, but this is not a prerequisite.
*Please consider buying her book Scientific Paper Writing - A Survival Guide, illustrated by Jorge
Cham from PhD comics.
