Grant in aid of supporting the seventh UK Technolpgical Plasma Workshop 2009

几十年来，等离子体物理和工程的跨学科领域已经实现了一些最令人兴奋的科学，并为重大工业创新做出了贡献。只有当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的领域时，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体研讨会（TPW）促进的。为了进一步推进英国等离子技术界的这一战略努力，我们请求资助在英国格拉斯哥的格拉斯哥科学中心举行的下一次TPW。2009年TPW将由国际领先的等离子科学家举行四次全体会议，补充了几个贡献的会谈，以吸引年轻科学家在技术等离子体科学及其工业和医疗应用。讲习班的具体目标是促进青年研究人员以口头和海报介绍的形式参与和作出贡献。它还将用于展示英国等离子体科学技术，以吸引海外与会者。此外，还将提出并讨论关键的工业需求，并讨论当前的等离子体研究计划、英国网络和可用于满足这些需求的资金来源。

The interdisciplinary field of plasma physics and engineering 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 the next TPW at the Glasgow Science Centre, Glasgow, UK.The TPW 2009 will be anchored with four plenary talks given by leading international plasma scientists, 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. The workshop will aim specifically at promoting young researcher's 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.
