The scientific programme will include invited lectures, oral and poster presentations, and discussions on the following topics:

1. Electrical and optical discharges, near-electrode processes
(plasma accelerators; arc, spark, barrier, surface, and glow discharges; high-frequency and laser-induced plasma)

2. Transporting, optical, and thermodynamic properties of plasma; plasma dynamics in electromagnetic fields of various configurations

3. Methods and instrumentation for plasma diagnostics
(emission and absorption spectroscopy; intracavity laser spectroscopy; optical, interferometric, probe, and other methods)

4. Interaction of concentrated energy fluxes with a surface
(modification of surface properties of materials and coatings by electromagnetic radiation, cathode and ion beams; plasma treatment of materials; plasma deposition of coatings)

5. Plasma in nanotechnology
(synthesis of nanoscale structures and fullerenes; formation of surface structures)

6. Plasma applications
(in engineering industry, microelectronics, plasma chemistry, ecology, biomedicine and in spectrochemical analysis)

7. Non-ideal and dusty plasma, clusters

8. ISTC Projects
