2nd Announcement
Dear Colleagues,
With this 2nd announcement, we would like to invite you to attend the first Pulsed Plasma Diagnostics Workshop (PPDW) and to submit an abstract of a contribution on your current research in this field. The PPDW is organized by Impedans Ltd with the support of the European COST program and will be held from Thursday, Sept 6th – Friday, Sept 7th, 2012 at the “Crowne Plaza Hotel” in Dublin. The conference language is English.

Please leave one blank line between the Title (emboldened) and the Authors list, one blank line between Author list and Affiliations, and one blank line between Affiliations and the main body of the Abstract. An email address for the lead author should be included as part of the affiliation. Submissions should be in .pdf or .doc format. NB: Poster size should be A0 with portrait layout.
The deadline for abstract submission is 18th May 2012.
