Grant in Aid of Supporting the fifth UK Technological Plasma Workshop

等离子体物理和工程是一个跨学科的领域，几十年来，它促成了一些最令人兴奋的科学，并为重大工业创新做出了贡献。只有越来越多的年轻研究人员选择等离子体科学作为他们未来职业生涯的领域，它的持续增长才能持续下去。在英国，这在一定程度上是通过一系列成功的技术等离子研讨会(TPW)来促进的。为了进一步推动英国技术等离子社区的这一战略努力，我们请求资助由皇后大学和阿尔斯特大学在贝尔法斯特主办的下一届TPW。下一届TPW将由国际领先的等离子科学家进行三次全体演讲，以及行业等离子技术专家的演讲。此外，还将进行几次专题演讲，使青年科学家参与技术等离子体科学及其工业和医疗应用所面临的最令人兴奋和最新的挑战。通过提供生活费，讲习班将专门以口头和海报介绍的形式促进青年研究人员的参与和贡献。它还将被用来展示英国的等离子体科学技术，以吸引海外参观者。此外，将提出和讨论关键的工业需求，以及关于当前等离子体研究计划、英国网络和可用于满足这些需求的资金来源的讨论。

Plasma physics and engineering is an interdisciplinary field that has over many decades enabled some of the most exciting science and contributed to major industrial innovations. Its continued growth can only be sustained when more and more young researchers choose plasma science as the field of their future career. In the UK, this has in part been fostered through the successful series of Technological Plasma workshops (TPW). To further this strategic effort of the UK technological plasma community, we request aid in funding of the next TPW in Belfast hosted by Queens University & University of Ulster.The next TPW will be anchored with three plenary talks given by leading international plasma scientists as well as talks by plasma technologists in Industry. These will be supplemented with several contributed talks so as to engage young scientists in the most exciting and current challenges facing the technological plasma science and their industrial and medical applications. Through the provision of subsistence costs, the workshop will aim specifically at promoting young researchers' participation and contribution in the form of oral and poster presentations. It will also be used to showcase the UK technological plasma science to attract overseas attendees. Furthermore, key industrial needs will be raised and discussed, together with discussions on current plasma research programmes, UK networks and sources of funding which can be used to address these needs.
