Conferences and exhibitions

This year, the 19th edition of the International Conference on Plasma Surface Engineering PSE will take place in Erfurt. With this year's topics "Plasma Surface Engineering enabling Sustainability" and "Hydrogen Technologies", the focus will be on sustainability. The event will provide an opportunity to discuss the latest advances in research, development and industrial application. In addition to various presentations during the conference, an exhibition will be another important part of the event, where suppliers of coating systems, components, equipment, materials, vacuum and plasma technologies, analytical measuring instruments, simulation tools, products for process automation and coating services can get into contact with interested people and customers. Furthermore, there will be networking opportunities, tutorials and workshops during the event.

The PSE 2024 will focus on: 

• Plasma and ion sources
• Process technologies
• Properties and applications
• Characterization and simulation
• Industrial Workshop on Plasma Surface Engineering enabling Sustainability
• Trend Topic Workshop on Hydrogen Technologies

Fraunhofer IST will be represented in various contributions to the event's program:
