Invitation
You are cordially invited to participate in the 12th International Workshop & Summer School on Plasma Physics at Black Sea from Monday, 8th to Sunday, 14th June 2026.
General information
Summer School: The school would bring together leading researchers in the field of Plasma Physics to give lecture on their specialties to advanced graduate students, postgraduate students and young scientists in the form of a one-week intensive course.
Scientists experienced in other disciplines who have recently entered the fields of plasma physics or nuclear fusion will also benefit from the school, which provides an overview of the various inter¬connected research domains and describes the latest developments. Gradu¬ates and teachers of science are welcome, as is anyone with an interest in the subject.
The 40-minute key lectures will be given by senior physicists in their field. Participants (PhD, Master students and young scientists) are strongly encouraged to present their own work during the afternoon sessions as 20-minute oral presentations or as posters.
TOPICS
Fusion Plasma and Materials
Plasma Modeling and Fundamentals
Plasma Sources, Diagnostics and Technology
The official language of the Workshop and the Summer School is English.
Workshop AEGIS
Advanced Electromagnetic Graphene-based shields via plasma Induced Synthesis (AEGIS)
Co-organizer: Institute of Plasmas and Nuclear Fusion, Lisbon, Portugal
The AEGIS project aims to advance the plasma-driven, controllable design of matter at the atomic scale through the development of an innovative microwave plasma–based synthesis platform. The main objective is the fabrication of ultralight nanocomposites with enhanced electromagnetic interference shielding performance primarily governed by absorption mechanisms.
The proposed approach is based on a controllable one-step plasma-enabled assembly of free-standing graphene sheets, including nitrogen-doped configurations, uniformly decorated with metallic nanoparticles and subsequently embedded within a polymer matrix. This streamlined process enables precise control over material composition, morphology, and interfacial characteristics, facilitating the establishment of clear structure–property relationships. Furthermore, the method offers a scalable pathway toward the development of next-generation lightweight shielding materials for advanced electronic and aerospace applications.
The project is being carried out under the coordination of Elena Tatarova and her team at the Plasma Engineering Laboratory (IPFN), joining a consortium that involves IST (Portugal), Institute Jozef Stefan (Slovenia), Sofia University (Bulgaria) and Kharkiv Aviation Institute, Ukraine.
AEGIS project is funded by NATO Science for Peace and Security Programme.
Workshop:
Attendance at the workshops sessions is open to all participants in the IWSSPP.
