Conferences
28 August–1 September 2018, Belgrade, Serbia
Symposium and Summer School on Physics of Ionized Gases (SPIG)
SPIG was initiated before 56 years ago. The first meeting was organized in Belgrade in 1962, under the title: “1st Yugoslav Symposium on the Physics of Ionized Gases (SPIG)”.
SPIG represents an international conference in the fields of:
- Atomic Collision Processes—Electron and Photon Interactions with Atomic Particles, Heavy Particle Collisions, Swarms and Transport Phenomena;
- Particle and Laser Beam Interactions with Solids—Atomic Collisions in Solids, Sputtering and Deposition, Laser and Plasma Interaction with Surfaces;
- Low Temperature Plasmas—Plasma Spectroscopy and other Diagnostic Methods, Gas Discharges, Plasma Applications and Devices;
- General Plasmas—Fusion Plasmas, Astrophysical Plasmas and Collective Phenomena.
These four disciplines have strong interactions in numerous applications, however, due to the development of specialized international conferences, it has become increasingly rare that such a wide range of topics is covered at a single conference. As the four fields often overlap and merge in numerous fundamental studies and more importantly applications, SPIG serves as a venue for exchanging ideas in the four related fields. Although the number of international conferences on this and similar topics is growing and the competition between conferences is strong, SPIG has had enviable success in attracting a large number of scientists to Serbia every two years. The SPIG conferences is international in character with an international scientific committee and a large number of invited speakers from all around the world. Most of the leading scientists in the fields related to SPIG have attended the conference at some stage. SPIG is held every two years and in the recent years typical number of participants was 150–200 including 30 invited speakers and 25 progress reports. Approximately 50% of participants are from a large number of different countries, mostly from Europe.
GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT SPIG 2018
The 29th Summer School and International Symposium on the Physics of Ionized Gases (SPIG 2018) will be held in Belgrade, Serbia, from August 28th to September 1st 2018, at the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts. The 29th SPIG is organized by the Vinča Insitute of nuclear sciences, University of Belgrade, Belgrade, Serbia, in collaboration with the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts. The SPIG conference covers a wide range of topics from fundamental studies to applications of ionized gases.
