The International Conferences on Research and Applications of Plasmas (PLASMA) have been organized every two years since 1993. The scope of the PLASMA conference series, which idea was originally to facilitate the exchange of knowledge and to spread the collaboration between the scientists and engineers from the Eastern European Countries, covers most of issues of broadly understood plasma physics and technology.
PLASMA-2017, organized by the Institute of Plasma Physics and Laser Microfusion (IPPLM), took place from 18th September to the 22nd September 2017 at the Central Agriculture Library in Warsaw, Poland. The conference covered scientific areas like:
I. Elementary processes and general plasma physics
II. Plasmas in tokamaks and stellarators (MCF)
III. Plasmas generated by laser beams and Inertial Confinement Fusion (ICF)
IV. Plasma produced by Z-pinch and Plasma-Focus discharges
V. Low-temperature and dusty plasma
VI. Space plasmas and laboratory astrophysics
