The 13th International Conference on Plasma Surface Engineering will take place from 10 to 14 September 2012 in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany. Plasma is an important tool for manufacturing high quality thin coatings. It is also an important component in the process of producing innovative new products and surfaces. For example, wet chemical and dry plasma treatments are used to synthesise functional materials, modify surface properties and produce engineered surfaces. The event will be an opportunity to learn more about the latest in research, development and industrial applications. Topics will range from fundamentals, to empirical studies, applications and industrial production.

I will not be going to Garmisch-Partenkirchen this year.  My first time to miss this excellent conference in the last 10 years. The conference is held every two years and draws a strong interest from german industry as well a good international audience. If you are a plasma scientist or engineer with an interest in the applications of plasma then this is a conference not to miss. Let me know your thoughts on the PSE conference.
